1. What is the Compound Interest Formula?

The compound interest formula calculates the maturity amount for fixed deposits in Bangladesh. It considers the principal amount, annual interest rate, compounding frequency, and time period to determine the final amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + \frac{R}{n})^{n \times T} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal amount (BDT)
\( R \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
\( T \) — Time period in years
\( A \) — Maturity amount (BDT)

Explanation: The formula calculates how much your investment will grow with compound interest over time, taking into account how often the interest is compounded.

3. Importance of FD Interest Calculation

Details: Accurate interest calculation is crucial for financial planning, helping investors understand their potential returns and make informed investment decisions for fixed deposits in Bangladesh.

4. Using the Calculator

A: Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on both the principal and accumulated interest.

Q2: How does compounding frequency affect returns?
