Formula Used

The calculator uses the simple interest formula to calculate earnings on SB accounts in India:

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100 Total Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

Where:

Principal is the initial deposit amount
Rate is the annual interest rate (in percentage)
Time is the number of years the money is deposited

Note: This calculator uses simple interest, which is common for SB accounts in India. Some banks may offer compound interest options, which would require a different calculation method.

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit ₹10,000 in an SB account with an annual interest rate of 4% for 2 years. Here's how the calculation works:

Simple Interest = (10,000 × 4 × 2) / 100 = ₹800 Total Amount = 10,000 + 800 = ₹10,800

So, after 2 years, you would earn ₹800 in interest and have a total of ₹10,800 in your account.
