📐 Interest Formulas Explained

Simple Interest

SI = (P × R × T) / 100

Interest calculated only on principal amount

Compound Interest

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)

Interest earned on both principal and accumulated interest

Fixed Deposit (FD)

Same as compound interest formula

Lump sum investment with guaranteed returns

Recurring Deposit (RD)

A = M × ((1+i)^n - 1)/i × (1+i)

Monthly investments with compound interest

💡 Pro Tip: Higher compounding frequency leads to better returns. Monthly compounding gives the highest returns compared to yearly or quarterly compounding. Use this calculator to compare different frequencies and maximize your investment returns.

💡 Smart Investment Tips

Compare different compounding frequencies before investing

For long-term goals, consider compound interest investments

FDs offer guaranteed returns, ideal for conservative investors

RDs help build disciplined saving habits with regular deposits

Always consider inflation while calculating real returns
