🔁 Recurring Deposit Calculator

A recurring deposit builds a lump sum out of a fixed monthly deposit. Enter the monthly amount, the annual rate and the tenure to see the maturity value, calculated the way banks do — with quarterly compounding.

How to use the Recurring Deposit Calculator

  1. Enter the monthly deposit amount.
  2. Enter the annual interest rate (%).
  3. Enter the tenure in months, then press Calculate.
Example: Depositing Rs 5,000 every month at 7% per year for 12 months matures at Rs 62,310.66 — Rs 60,000 deposited by you and Rs 2,310.66 earned as interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do banks calculate RD interest?

Each monthly deposit earns interest for the time it stays in the account, and interest is compounded every quarter (every 3 months). This calculator uses that same standard method, with each deposit assumed at the start of the month.

What happens if I miss a monthly deposit?

Banks usually charge a small penalty and the maturity value drops a little. This estimate assumes every deposit is made on time.

RD or FD — which one suits me?

They suit different savers: an FD starts from one lump sum you already have, while an RD builds the sum gradually from monthly deposits. Their interest rates are usually similar.
