Understanding RD Calculations
Recurring Deposit (RD) is a popular savings scheme offered by banks where you deposit a fixed amount every month for a specified period. At the end of the tenure, you receive the maturity amount that includes your total deposit and the interest earned. The RD Calculator helps you determine this maturity amount using the deposit amount, interest rate, and the term of the deposit.
Maturity Amount = Deposit Amount + (Deposit Amount * Interest Rate / 100 * Term / 12)
Variables:
- Maturity Amount is the total amount you receive at the end of the deposit term ($)
- Deposit Amount is the amount you deposit every month ($)
- Interest Rate is the percentage of interest earned annually (%)
- Term is the duration of the deposit in months
To calculate the maturity amount, the calculator uses the formula to add the interest earned to the total deposits made over the period.
