1. What is the Fixed Deposit Interest Formula?

The fixed deposit interest formula calculates the maturity amount for Nepalese fixed deposits using compound interest. It helps investors understand how much their investment will grow over time with compounding interest.

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

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

3. Importance of Fixed Deposit Calculation

Details: Accurate fixed deposit calculation helps investors plan their finances, compare different investment options, and make informed decisions about saving and investment strategies in the Nepalese financial market.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in NPR, annual interest rate as a percentage, select compounding frequency, and time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
