Formula Used
The calculator uses the simple interest formula:
Where:
- Principal = Initial deposit amount
- Rate = Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- Time = Deposit period in years
For example, if you deposit ₹10,000 at 4% interest for 2 years:
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest for a ₹50,000 deposit at 3.5% interest for 3 years:
This means you would earn ₹5,250 in interest over 3 years, bringing your total savings to ₹55,250.
Note: This calculation assumes simple interest. Some savings accounts may offer compound interest, which would result in higher earnings over time.
Interest Rate Comparison
Here's a comparison of potential interest earnings for different deposit amounts and interest rates:
| Principal (₹) | Rate (3%) | Rate (3.5%) | Rate (4%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | ₹300 | ₹350 | ₹400 |
| 50,000 | ₹1,500 | ₹1,750 | ₹2,000 |
| 1,00,000 | ₹3,000 | ₹3,500 | ₹4,000 |
This table shows how different interest rates affect your earnings for the same deposit amount over one year.
