Formula Used

The Bank Account Calculator India uses the compound interest formula:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt) Where: A = Amount after time t P = Principal amount (initial deposit) r = Annual interest rate (in decimal) n = Number of times interest is compounded per year t = Time the money is invested for (in years)

For example, if you deposit ₹10,000 at 4% annual interest compounded quarterly for 5 years:

A = 10000 × (1 + 0.04/4)^(4×5) A = 10000 × (1.01)^20 A ≈ ₹12,802.43

Worked Examples

Example 1: Fixed Deposit

If you deposit ₹50,000 in a bank that offers 5% annual interest compounded annually for 3 years:

A = 50000 × (1 + 0.05/1)^(1×3) A = 50000 × (1.05)^3 A ≈ ₹57,662.50

You would earn approximately ₹7,662.50 in interest over 3 years.

Example 2: Recurring Deposit

For a recurring deposit where you invest ₹1,000 monthly at 6.5% annual interest compounded monthly for 2 years:

A = P × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)] × (1 + r/n) Where: P = ₹1,000 (monthly deposit) r = 0.065 (6.5% annual) n = 12 (monthly compounding) t = 2 (years) A ≈ ₹27,170.00

You would have approximately ₹27,170.00 after 2 years.
