About This FD Calculation

A Fixed Deposit of ₹2 Lakh at 7.5% per annum with quarterly compounding matures to ₹2,89,990 after 5 years, earning interest of ₹89,990. The effective annual yield of 7.714% exceeds the nominal 7.5% 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 8.00%. 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 ₹2 Lakh for 5 years at 7.5% per annum (compounded quarterly) matures to ₹2,89,990. Total interest earned = ₹89,990, which is a 45.0% return on your principal. Effective annual yield after quarterly compounding = 7.714%.
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.
Your estimated yearly interest of ₹17,998 is below ₹40,000, so no TDS applies. However, the interest is still taxable as per your income slab — you must declare it under "Income from Other Sources" in your ITR.
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.
