Use this calculator to determine your potential earnings from a Canara Bank savings account based on your deposit amount, interest rate, and time period. The calculator helps you understand how compound interest grows your savings over time.
How the Calculator Works

Interest Calculation Formula
The calculator uses these formulas to determine your interest:
Simple Interest Formula
Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Final Amount = Principal + Simple Interest
Compound Interest Formula
Final Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate/Compounding Periods)^(Compounding Periods × Time)
Interest Earned = Final Amount - Principal
For compound interest, the calculator assumes annual compounding unless specified otherwise.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest for a ₹50,000 deposit at 4% annual interest rate for 2 years with compound interest:
Calculation Steps
- Principal (P) = ₹50,000
- Annual Interest Rate (r) = 4% or 0.04
- Time (t) = 2 years
- Compounding Frequency (n) = 1 (annually)
- Final Amount = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t) = 50,000 × (1 + 0.04/1)^(1×2) = ₹52,016
- Interest Earned = ₹52,016 - ₹50,000 = ₹2,016
This example shows how compound interest grows your savings over time, earning you ₹2,016 in interest for a ₹50,000 deposit at 4% annual interest over 2 years.
Interest Rate Comparison
Compare different interest rates to see how they affect your savings growth:
| Interest Rate | ₹50,000 after 1 year | ₹50,000 after 2 years | ₹50,000 after 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3% | ₹51,500 | ₹53,045 | ₹57,780 |
| 4% | ₹52,000 | ₹54,080 | ₹60,180 |
| 5% | ₹52,500 | ₹55,182 | ₹62,730 |
This table shows how different interest rates affect your savings growth over time. Higher interest rates result in more significant growth of your principal amount.
