1. What is the SBI FD Interest Calculator?

The SBI Fixed Deposit Interest Calculator helps you estimate the maturity amount of your fixed deposit investment with State Bank of India using the compound interest formula. It provides an accurate projection of your returns based on principal amount, interest rate, compounding frequency, and time period.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + r/n)^{n \times t} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Maturity amount (₹)
\( P \) — Principal amount (₹)
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
\( t \) — Time period in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how your investment grows with compound interest, where interest is added to the principal at regular intervals, earning more interest in subsequent periods.
