An FD Calculator is an online tool that estimates the maturity amount and interest earned for a Fixed Deposit (FD) based on the principal amount, annual interest rate, and tenure. It uses standard compound interest formulas to project your final returns.
FD maturity is typically calculated using the compound interest formula with quarterly compounding. This means that every three months, the earned interest is added back to the principal, and the next interest cycle calculates interest on the new, larger balance. For tenures less than 6 months, simple interest may be used, depending on the bank’s policy.
The minimum FD amount varies by bank, typically starting at ₹1,000 for most major banks in FY 2025-26. Post office FDs may start at ₹100. It's always best to check the specific bank or post office terms before investing.
Yes, FD interest is considered Income from Other Sources and is taxable under the investor’s income tax slab for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) of 10% may apply if the interest earned exceeds ₹40,000 (or ₹50,000 for senior citizens) annually, as per current Income Tax rules.
