What is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a popular investment option offered by banks and financial institutions where you deposit a lump sum amount for a fixed period and earn interest at a predetermined rate. Unlike savings accounts, FD interest rates are generally higher and remain fixed during the investment tenure.

Using an FD calculator helps investors estimate the maturity value and interest earnings before investing. It allows you to adjust parameters such as deposit amount, interest rate, and tenure to see how your investment grows over time.

FD Calculator Formula

A = P (1 + r/n)nt

Where:
P = Principal investment
r = Annual interest rate
n = Number of compounding periods
t = Time period in years
