About Union Bank FD Interest Rates
Fixed Deposits (FDs) are one of the most secure investment options offered by Union Bank of India. Whether you are saving for a short-term goal or long-term financial security, understanding your potential returns is crucial. The Union Bank FD Rates Calculator helps you estimate the maturity amount and total interest earned on your deposit based on current interest rates.
How Union Bank Calculates FD Interest
Like most Indian public sector banks, Union Bank of India calculates interest on Fixed Deposits using the compound interest formula for cumulative deposits. The standard compounding frequency is quarterly.
The mathematical formula used in this calculator is:
A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Investment Amount
- r: Rate of Interest (in decimal)
- n: Number of times interest compounds per year (Quarterly = 4)
- t: Tenure in years
Key Features of Union Bank FDs

- Senior Citizen Benefits: Union Bank typically offers an additional interest rate of 0.50% over the standard card rate for Senior Citizens.
- Super Senior Citizens: Individuals above 80 years often receive an additional benefit, usually 0.75% over the standard rate.
- Special Schemes: Keep an eye out for special tenure schemes (e.g., 399 days or 444 days) which often carry higher interest rates than standard 1-year deposits.
