Monthly Interest Earned = Principal × (Interest Rate ÷ 12)

Maturity Amount Example

Let’s assume you invest Rs. 1,00,000 in a fixed deposit at an annual interest rate of 7.30% for a tenure of 5 years.

Monthly Interest Earned

Monthly Interest = Rs. 1,00,000 × 7.30% ÷ 12
= Rs. 1,00,000 × 0.073 ÷ 12
= Rs. 7,300 ÷ 12
= Rs. 608.33

So, the monthly interest on Rs. 1 Lakh at 7.30% p.a. would be approximately Rs. 608.33.

Interest Earned at Maturity

Interest Earned = Monthly Interest × Number of Months
= Rs. 608.33 × 60
= Rs. 36,499.80

At the end of 5 years, your total interest earnings would be approximately Rs. 36,499.80.
