How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your potential savings interest:

  1. Select the IDFC Bank savings account type you're considering
  2. Enter the principal amount (initial deposit)
  3. Enter the annual interest rate (APR)
  4. Select the compounding frequency (typically monthly or annually)

  6. Click "Calculate" to see your estimated interest and total amount

The calculator will display the interest earned and the total amount after the specified period, showing how your savings grow over time.

Formula Used

The calculation uses the compound interest formula:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t) 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 simple interest, the formula is:

A = P × (1 + r×t) Where: A = Amount after time t P = Principal amount r = Annual interest rate (in decimal) t = Time in years

The calculator automatically selects the appropriate formula based on the compounding frequency you choose.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the interest for a ₹50,000 deposit at 4.5% annual interest rate compounded monthly for 3 years.

  1. Principal (P) = ₹50,000
  2. Annual interest rate (r) = 4.5% = 0.045
  3. Compounding frequency (n) = 12 (monthly)
  4. Time (t) = 3 years

Using the compound interest formula:

A = 50,000 × (1 + 0.045/12)^(12×3) A = 50,000 × (1.00375)^36 A ≈ ₹52,458.75

Interest earned = ₹52,458.75 - ₹50,000 = ₹2,458.75

This example shows how your savings grow over time with compound interest.
