How to calculate Rs. 1 crore FD interest per month?
Avoid these mistakes while booking FD
-
Calculating the monthly interest on a Rs. 1 crore Fixed Deposit (FD) is straightforward. The monthly return depends on three key factors — interest rate, tenor, and payout frequency (monthly, quarterly, or cumulative).
You can use this simple formula to calculate your monthly FD interest:
Monthly Interest = (Deposit Amount × Interest Rate) ÷ 12
For example:
If you invest Rs. 1 crore at an interest rate of 7.30% p.a. for 60 months, then your monthly interest will be:
Rs. 1,00,00,000 × 7.30% ÷ 60 = Rs. 42,23,242 / 60 = Rs. 70,385 per month.
