1. What is the FD Interest Rate Calculator?

The FD Interest Rate Calculator calculates the annual interest rate for fixed deposits in Nepal based on the compound interest formula. It helps investors determine the effective interest rate they would earn on their investment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the FD interest rate formula:

\[ R = n \times \left( \left( \frac{A}{P} \right)^{\frac{1}{n \times T}} - 1 \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\( R \) — Annual interest rate (%)
\( A \) — Final amount (currency units)
\( P \) — Principal amount (currency units)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency (unitless)
\( T \) — Time period (years)

Explanation: The formula calculates the effective annual interest rate by considering the compounding effect over the investment period.
