How is the Interest and Maturity Amount on an RD calculated? 

You can calculate the interest and maturity amount with the HDFC Bank RD calculator. This section explains the formula for calculating the maturity amount and interest.

Formula

The formula to calculate the maturity amount is:

Maturity amount = Total deposits + Interest 

It must be noted that the total deposit amount is equal to the monthly deposits multiplied by the number of months in which payments were made.

The formula to calculate interest is:

Interest = P * n * (n+1) * r / 2400.

In the above interest rate calculation formula, ‘P’ stands for the monthly deposit, ‘n’ stands for the number of months, and ‘r’ is the annual interest rate.

Example

Consider depositing INR 500 per month for ten years in an HDFC RD account. The HDFC recurring deposit interest rate is 5.60%.

The HDFC RD interest rates calculator can help you get your interest amount and the maturity amount over the tenure you’re investing for. Another option is to calculate the same manually by following the below-given formula:

Using the formula, we get:

Number of months = 12*10 = 120 months

Total Deposit = 120*500 = 60,000

Interest = 500 * 120 (120+1) * 5.60% / 24 = 16,940

Maturity = 16940 + 60000 = 76,940

The maturity amount is INR 76,940 and the interest amount is INR 16,940 for a deposit of INR 500.

Things to Consider While Calculating HDFC Recurring Deposit

It isn't every day that you decide to open a recurring deposit account. Various factors must be considered while calculating HDFC recurring deposits. Some of the key aspects to consider while opting for a recurring deposit are: 

Monthly Deposit Amount

Generally speaking, a larger deposit will result in a higher interest rate. The higher the deposit amount, the better the interest would be. You can adjust the calculator's deposit amount to suit your personal financial requirements.

Interest Rate

The monthly deposit would increase in proportion to the interest rate. Long-term, higher interest rates often add up. So, before you begin your regular deposit, use the calculator to analyse your interest rate possibilities and decide which one is best for you.

Tenure

Shorter periods result in lower interest payments upon maturity, while longer periods have higher interest rates.
