1. What is the SBI Fixed Deposit Calculator?

The SBI Fixed Deposit Calculator helps estimate the maturity amount for State Bank of India fixed deposits using the compound interest formula. It provides an accurate projection of 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 (INR)
\( P \) — Principal amount (INR)
\( R \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
\( T \) — Time period in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how much your investment will grow based on compound interest, where interest is added to the principal at regular intervals, earning more interest in subsequent periods.

3. Importance of FD Calculation

Details: Accurate FD calculation helps in financial planning, comparing investment options, and understanding the power of compound interest for wealth creation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate as decimal (e.g., 0.075 for 7.5%), select compounding frequency, and time period in years. All values must be positive.
