Formula Used

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)

Where:

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years

The interest earned is calculated as A - P.

Worked Example

Suppose you deposit ₹100,000 in an HDFC Bank savings account with a 4% annual interest rate, compounded monthly, for 5 years.

Using the formula:

A = 100,000 × (1 + 0.04/12)^(12×5)

A ≈ ₹122,024.76

Interest earned = ₹122,024.76 - ₹100,000 = ₹22,024.76

This means you would earn approximately ₹22,024.76 in interest over 5 years.
