Frequently asked questions

Most Indian banks compound FD interest quarterly. Each quarter, the interest earned so far is added to your principal, and the next quarter's interest is calculated on this larger amount.

Yes. Interest earned on a fixed deposit is added to your taxable income and taxed at your slab rate. Banks deduct TDS if the interest earned in a financial year exceeds the prescribed threshold (₹40,000 for most depositors, ₹50,000 for senior citizens).

Most banks allow premature withdrawal, but charge a penalty (typically 0.5% to 1%) on the applicable interest rate. Tax-saving FDs with a 5-year lock-in cannot be withdrawn early.

Bank FDs typically range from 7 days to 10 years. This calculator supports tenures up to 120 months (10 years), the common upper limit offered by most banks.

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a one-time lump-sum deposit that earns interest for a fixed tenure. A Recurring Deposit (RD) instead lets you deposit a fixed amount every month, building up your balance gradually. If you have a lump sum to invest now, use this FD calculator; if you want to save a fixed amount monthly, try the RD calculator.
