FD Calculator
Overview of FD Calculator
Fixed Deposits or FDs is a long-term investment made by people for a secure future. Investors can select a predetermined duration for the bank to hold their deposit. In general, FD investments offer higher interest rates than savings accounts, making them a better choice for building long-term wealth. We provide a free tool to calculate your FD amount over a period of time or say when the investment expires, known as the maturity amount.
Tax Benefits on FDs
Fixed Deposits schemes are taxed similarly to other investment and tax-saving personal instruments. If the total interest earned from an FD surpasses ₹ 10,000 in a single financial year, a 10% TDS is applied to the returns. When we compare this to the SIP programme, it is clear that SIPs offer greater long-term benefits. Any SIP that invests in ELSS (Equities Linked Mutual Funds) beyond one year is likewise tax-free because long-term returns from equity are tax-free.
