Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate the maturity amount:
Maturity Amount (A) = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)
Where:
- P = Principal amount (initial investment)
- 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 simplicity, the calculator assumes annual compounding (n = 1).
Worked Examples
Example 1: Fixed Deposit
Suppose you invest ₹10,000 in a fixed deposit with an annual interest rate of 6% for 5 years.
A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.06/1)^(1×5) = ₹13,382.26
Total interest earned: ₹3,382.26
Example 2: Mutual Fund
If you invest ₹50,000 in a mutual fund with an expected annual return of 10% over 10 years:
A = 50,000 × (1 + 0.10/1)^(1×10) = ₹115,927.43
Total interest earned: ₹65,927.43
