Frequently asked questions

How is RD interest calculated?

Indian banks compound recurring deposit interest quarterly. Each monthly instalment earns interest, compounded every quarter until maturity, using M = P x [(1 + i)^n - 1] / [1 - (1 + i)^(-1/3)], where P is the monthly deposit, i is the quarterly rate (annual rate / 4) and n is the number of quarters.

Why is the tenure set in steps of 3 months?

Because RD interest is compounded quarterly, the standard bank formula works in whole quarters, so the tenure is entered in multiples of 3 months. RD tenures typically range from 6 months to 10 years.
