1. What is the SBI Fixed Deposit Calculator?

The SBI Fixed Deposit Calculator helps you estimate the maturity amount of your fixed deposit investment with State Bank of India. It uses the compound interest formula to calculate 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 (years)

Explanation: The formula calculates how your investment grows over time with compound interest, where interest is added to the principal at regular intervals.
