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
