📐 How FD Returns Are Calculated

Compound Interest Formula (Quarterly):

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)
A = Maturity AmountP = Principal (Deposit)r = Annual Rate / 100n = Compounding frequency (4 for quarterly)t = Time in years

📖 Example Calculation

Deposit: ₹5,00,000 | Rate: 7.1% p.a. | Period: 3 years | Quarterly compounding

1 r = 7.1 / 100 = 0.071, n = 4 (quarterly), t = 3
2 A = 5,00,000 × (1 + 0.071/4)^(4×3)
3 A = 5,00,000 × (1.01775)^12
4 A ≈ ₹6,23,397 | Interest: ₹1,23,397 | Return: 24.68%
