Formula Used
The calculation for SBI Recurring Deposit Accounts is based on the following formula:
Recurring Deposit Maturity Amount
Maturity Amount = P × [ ( (1 + r/12) ^ (12n) - 1 ) / (r/12) ]
Where:
- P = Monthly deposit amount
- r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
- n = Number of years
This formula calculates the future value of a series of regular deposits made at the end of each compounding period, taking into account the interest earned on both the initial deposits and the accumulated interest.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works. Suppose you deposit ₹1,000 every month for 2 years at an annual interest rate of 6%.
- Monthly deposit (P) = ₹1,000
- Deposit period (n) = 2 years
- Annual interest rate (r) = 6% or 0.06
Using the formula:
Maturity Amount = 1000 × [ ( (1 + 0.06/12) ^ (12×2) - 1 ) / (0.06/12) ]
Maturity Amount ≈ ₹24,600
This means that after 2 years, you would receive approximately ₹24,600, which includes your original deposits and the interest earned on them.
