1. What is the SBI FD Quarterly Compounding Formula?

The State Bank of India Fixed Deposit calculator uses quarterly compounding to calculate the maturity amount of your investment. This formula accounts for interest being compounded four times per year, which can significantly increase your returns compared to simple interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the quarterly compounding formula:

\[ A = P \times \left(1 + \frac{R}{100 \times 4}\right)^{4 \times T} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Maturity amount (₹)
\( P \) — Principal investment amount (₹)
\( R \) — Annual interest rate (%)
\( T \) — Time period (years)

Explanation: The formula calculates how your investment grows when interest is compounded quarterly, meaning interest is added to the principal four times per year, allowing your investment to grow faster.

3. Importance of Quarterly Compounding

Details: Quarterly compounding can significantly boost your returns compared to annual compounding. The more frequently interest is compounded, the faster your money grows due to the "interest on interest" effect.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your principal investment amount in rupees, the annual interest rate in percentage, and the time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
