Interest Calculation Formula

The calculator uses the following formulas to compute interest:

Simple Interest Formula

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

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

Compound Interest Formula

Final Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate/Compounding Periods per Year)^(Rate × Time)

Interest Earned = Final Amount - Principal

Where:

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

Worked Example

Let's calculate the interest for a $10,000 deposit at 4% annual interest over 5 years with compound interest:

Example Calculation

Final Amount = $10,000 × (1 + 0.04/1)^(0.04 × 5)

Final Amount = $10,000 × (1.04)^0.2

Final Amount = $10,000 × 1.0824

Final Amount = $10,824

Interest Earned = $1,824

This example shows how compound interest grows your savings over time. The more years you keep your money in the account, the more interest you'll earn.

Types of Interest Rates

IDFC Savings Accounts typically offer two types of interest rates:

Interest Type	Description	Calculation Method
Simple Interest	Interest is calculated only on the original principal amount	Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Compound Interest	Interest is calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods	Final Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate)^Time

Compound interest is generally more favorable for savings as it allows your money to grow faster over time.
