FD Calculator Mathematical Formula
A = P \times \left(1 + \frac{r + b_{\text{sr}}}{400}\right)^{4t}FD Calculator Worked Example
Depositing 500,000 in a 5-year bank FD at 7.25% p.a. compounded quarterly.
- Quarterly rate = 7.25 / 400 = 0.018125; Total quarters = 5 × 4 = 20.
- Maturity Value A = 500,000 × (1.018125)^20 = 716,130.15.
- Total Interest Earned = 216,130.15; Effective Annual Yield = 7.45%.
With a 0.50% Senior Citizen bonus (7.75% p.a.), the same 500,000 deposit matures to 733,942.59—an extra 17,812.44 in guaranteed interest.
