How it works

How the RD Calculator works

An RD is for people who want to save a little every month rather than a large amount at once. Each instalment earns interest for whatever time is left in the tenure — so the first instalment earns the most interest and the last one the least.

Formula

For each instalment: M = P × (1 + r/4)^(4t)

Each monthly deposit has its own remaining time t; the total is the sum of every instalment's maturity value.

FAQ

RD Calculator — common questions

What is the difference between an RD and an FD?

An FD takes the whole amount in one deposit; an RD takes one instalment every month. An FD earns more total interest because the full amount is invested for the entire period.

What if I miss an RD instalment?

Most banks charge a late fee, and repeated misses can lead to the account being closed prematurely. Setting up auto-debit is the safest approach.

Is RD interest taxable?

Yes. RD interest is also added to your income and taxed at your slab rate.
