About This FD Calculation

A Fixed Deposit of ₹25 Lakh at 9% per annum with quarterly compounding matures to ₹39,01,273 after 5 years, earning interest of ₹14,01,273. The effective annual yield of 9.308% exceeds the nominal 9% rate because interest is compounded four times per year rather than once. As TDS of 10% applies to interest above ₹40,000/year (₹50,000 for senior citizens), submit Form 15G/15H if total income is below the taxable limit. Senior citizens qualify for an additional 0.25–0.5% interest, bringing the effective rate to 9.50%. As of 2025, major banks offer competitive rates — SBI at up to 7.10%, HDFC at 7.25%, and small finance banks at up to 9% for similar tenures. A 5-year FD additionally qualifies for ₹1.5 lakh tax deduction under Section 80C, though premature withdrawal forfeits this benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Fixed Deposit of ₹25 Lakh for 5 years at 9% per annum (compounded quarterly) matures to ₹39,01,273. Total interest earned = ₹14,01,273, which is a 56.1% return on your principal. Effective annual yield after quarterly compounding = 9.308%.
Indian banks use the compound interest formula: A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t), where P = principal, r = annual rate (as decimal), n = compounding frequency (4 for quarterly), t = years. Most banks compound quarterly. Some offer monthly compounding, which gives slightly higher returns. Use our calculator above to compare frequencies.
Yes. Your estimated yearly interest of ₹2,80,255 exceeds ₹40,000 — the TDS threshold. Banks deduct 10% TDS (20% without PAN). To avoid TDS if your total income is below the taxable limit, submit Form 15G (below 60 years) or Form 15H (senior citizens) to your bank at the start of each financial year.
As of 2025, small finance banks like Unity, Suryoday, and ESAF offer 8–9% on 5-year FDs. Among major banks, SBI offers ~6.8%, HDFC ~7%, and ICICI ~7%. Senior citizens typically get 0.25–0.5% extra. Always check DICGC insurance coverage (₹5 lakh per depositor per bank) when choosing small finance banks.
Yes, FDs can be prematurely closed, but most banks charge a penalty of 0.5–1% on the applicable interest rate. For example, if your FD earns 7.5% but you break it early, the bank pays the rate for the actual period held minus the penalty. Some tax-saving FDs (5-year) have a 5-year lock-in and cannot be broken prematurely.
Cumulative FD: Interest compounds and is paid at maturity — ideal for wealth building. That's what this calculator shows. Non-cumulative FD: Interest is paid at regular intervals (monthly/quarterly/yearly) — ideal for generating regular income. The total interest earned is the same, but non-cumulative gives regular cash flow at the cost of compounding benefit.
