Formula Used

The calculator uses the simple interest formula to calculate earnings:

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Where:

  • Principal is the initial deposit amount
  • Rate is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
  • Time is the duration in years

For monthly calculations, the time is converted to years by dividing by 12.

The final amount is calculated as:

Final Amount = Principal + (Principal × Rate × Time)

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit ₹50,000 in an IDFC Bank savings account with an annual interest rate of 4%. You want to know how much interest you'll earn in 2 years.

  1. Principal = ₹50,000
  2. Rate = 4% or 0.04
  3. Time = 2 years

Using the formula:

Interest = ₹50,000 × 0.04 × 2 = ₹4,000

Final Amount = ₹50,000 + ₹4,000 = ₹54,000

So, you would earn ₹4,000 in interest and have a total of ₹54,000 after 2 years.
