RD Calculator — Calculate Recurring Deposit Maturity Amount

Recurring Deposits are perfect for salaried professionals who want to build a corpus through small monthly contributions. Banks and post offices let you start an RD with a small monthly amount, and interest is usually compounded quarterly. Our RD Calculator works out the maturity amount from your monthly deposit, rate, and tenure.

Enter the monthly deposit, interest rate, and tenure. Get the total invested, interest earned, and maturity value. It works for any RD that compounds interest quarterly — enter the rate your bank or post office quotes. No signup, no cost.

How to Calculate RD Maturity

1. Monthly Deposit

Enter the amount you'll deposit every month — ₹500, ₹2,000, ₹10,000, or any amount.

2. Interest Rate

Enter the rate offered by your bank. If you are a senior citizen, use the senior-citizen rate your bank quotes.

3. Set Tenure

Enter the tenure in years — one year or more, and part-years such as 1.5 work too. Longer tenure means more interest earned.

4. View Maturity

See total invested, interest earned, and the final maturity amount you'll receive.

How RD Maturity Is Calculated

Each monthly deposit earns interest compounded every quarter for as long as it stays in the account: maturity = Σ D × (1 + R ÷ 400)k ÷ 3, added up over every deposit, where D is the monthly deposit, R is the annual rate in percent and k is the number of months that deposit is held (from the full tenure for the first one down to 1 month for the last). Interest earned is the maturity amount minus the total deposited.

Worked example: ₹5,000 a month at 6.5% a year for 5 years (the calculator’s starting values).

  • 60 deposits of ₹5,000 = ₹3,00,000 deposited, at a quarterly rate of 6.5 ÷ 400 = 1.625%.
  • Maturity amount = ₹3,54,954, of which ₹54,954 is interest.

The year-wise schedule uses the same formula for the deposits made so far: after the first year the ₹60,000 deposited is worth ₹62,143, and the last row is the maturity amount.


RD Calculator — FAQs

Yes, RD interest is fully taxable as Income from Other Sources. Interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, and banks deduct TDS once your interest for the year crosses a threshold (a higher one applies to senior citizens). The threshold and rate change from time to time, so check the current figures with your bank. This calculator shows interest before tax and TDS. You must declare it in your ITR.

Usually yes, but premature closure normally means a penalty, typically a lower interest rate than you signed up for, and some banks don’t allow it in the first few months. Check your bank’s rules before you close the account.

An RD gives a fixed, assured return. A mutual fund SIP can earn more over the long term, but it is market-linked and can also lose value. For short-term goals (1-3 years) and risk-averse investors, RD wins. For long-term wealth building, SIP is usually better.
