How does Fixed Deposit Work & FD Calculation Methods
A = P(1+r/n) ^nt
Where:
A = Maturity Amount; P = Principal Amount; r = Annual Rate of Interest; n= Number of compounding periods per year; t = Tenure in years
For example, if you invest ₹1,00,000 in an FD with a 7% annual interest rate, compounded monthly for 3 years, the Compound Interest
would be:
A=1,00,000(1+0.07/12) ^ (12*3)
A=1,00,000 1.2330=123,300
At the end of the 3-year tenure, you would receive Rs. 123,300
