Formula Used

The maturity amount of an RD account is calculated using the following formula:

Maturity Amount = P × [ ( (1 + r/12)^n - 1) / (r/12) ] × (1 + r/12)

Where:

P = Monthly deposit amount
r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
n = Tenure in months

The total interest earned is calculated by subtracting the total deposits from the maturity amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the maturity amount for an RD account with the following details:

Monthly deposit: ₹1,000
Tenure: 12 months
Annual interest rate: 7%

Using the formula:

Maturity Amount = 1000 × [ ( (1 + 0.07/12)^12 - 1) / (0.07/12) ] × (1 + 0.07/12)

Maturity Amount ≈ ₹12,180.50

Total Interest = Maturity Amount - (Monthly Deposit × Tenure)

Total Interest ≈ ₹12,180.50 - ₹12,000 = ₹180.50

This means you would earn approximately ₹180.50 in interest over the 12-month period.
