Frequently asked questions
What is Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator?
Work out the maturity value of a fixed deposit with any compounding — simple, annual, quarterly, monthly, daily or continuous — plus the effective annual yield.
When would I actually use this?
Planning a deposit, a safety net or a large purchase: how much to put aside each month, and how long a target takes at a given rate.
What is the most common mistake?
Reading a nominal rate as if it were real. Inflation is subtracted from the return, not from the capital, so a 3% account during 4% inflation loses purchasing power every year.
How is Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator different from Certificate of Deposit (CD) Calculator?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Certificate of Deposit (CD) Calculator is the one to open when you need it to see what a CD really pays: APR vs APY made explicit, after-tax return from your marginal rate, and the cost of an early-withdrawal penalty in months of interest. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
RD calculator (recurring deposit) is the closest one after this: The maturity value of a recurring deposit — a fixed amount paid in every month that earns compound interest. Enter the monthly deposit, the annual rate, the compounding (quarterly is the bank standard) and the tenure; it returns the maturity amount, the total you paid in and the interest earned.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) Calculator and Loan-to-Deposit Ratio Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Compound interest is arithmetic, so the maths is exact for the rate you enter. Real accounts vary in compounding frequency, tax treatment and whether interest is credited before or after a deposit.
