Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
Compound Interest Formula
A = P × (1 + r/n)nt
Where:
- A = Final amount
- P = Principal amount (initial deposit)
- r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (365 for daily compounding)
- t = Time in years
For this calculator, we use daily compounding (n=365) to provide an accurate estimate of your RD growth.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the growth of $10,000 over 5 years at 3% annual interest with daily compounding:
| Year | Balance |
|---|---|
| 0 | $10,000.00 |
| 1 | $10,304.50 |
| 2 | $10,615.02 |
| 3 | $10,931.69 |
| 4 | $11,254.65 |
| 5 | $11,583.99 |
After 5 years, your $10,000 deposit would grow to approximately $11,584 with daily compounding at 3% annual interest.
