Calculate Interest on a Rs. 2 Lakh FD

  • Deposit amount

  • Tenure (in months or years)

  • Interest rate offered

The calculator will display the maturity amount and total interest earned—whether you choose a cumulative or non-cumulative payout.

Example: Monthly Interest on Rs. 2 Lakh FD

Let’s say you invest Rs. 2 lakh in a non-cumulative FD at 7.95% p.a. for 18 months with monthly payouts.

Monthly Interest Earned
= Rs. 2,00,000 × 7.95% / 12
= Rs. 15,900 / 12
= Rs. 1,325/month

So, you'd receive Rs. 1,325 every month as interest for 18 months.

Example: Total Interest on Rs. 2 Lakh Cumulative FD

If you opt for a cumulative FD at the same 7.95% p.a. for 18 months, the interest compounds, and you receive the lump sum at maturity.

Reinvestment or cumulative FD

Cumulative fixed deposit is a type of Fixed Deposit where the interest earned is compounded and paid out along with the principal amount at the time of maturity. Unlike non-cumulative fixed deposits, which pay out interest monthly, quarterly, or annually, the interest on a cumulative FD is reinvested back into the deposit. This means your interest earns interest on itself, which can significantly increase your total earnings at maturity.

Cumulative FDs are a good option for investors who are looking to grow their capital over a long period of time. They are also a good option for those who do not need the regular income that is provided by non-cumulative fixed deposits.

Fixed Deposit provides a secure investment avenue with predictable monthly returns. The importance of understanding interest rates, taxation, and necessary documents cannot be overstated. For investors who are looking for stable growth, fixed deposits can be a good choice. It's important to consider TDS before making any investment in FD. Always consult with financial experts before making investment decisions.
