Union Bank of India FD Calculator
Understanding Union Bank of India FD Rates
The Union Bank of India Fixed Deposit (FD) calculator helps investors estimate the returns on their savings over a fixed tenure. Union Bank offers competitive interest rates, which vary depending on the tenure chosen—typically ranging from 7 days to 10 years.
How the Calculation Works
Like most Indian public sector banks, Union Bank of India calculates interest on Fixed Deposits using the Quarterly Compounding method for deposits with a tenure of 6 months or longer. This means the interest earned in a quarter is added to the principal, and interest for the next quarter is calculated on this increased amount.
The mathematical formula used in this calculator is:
A = P × (1 + R/N)^(N × T)
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Deposit Amount
- R: Annual Interest Rate (in decimal)
- N: Compounding Frequency (Standard is 4 for Quarterly)
- T: Tenure in Years
Interest Rate Guide (Indicative)
While rates change frequently, here is a general structure often observed for Union Bank FDs:
| Tenure | General Citizen | Senior Citizen |
|---|---|---|
| 7 Days – 45 Days | 3.00% – 3.50% | 3.50% – 4.00% |
| 1 Year – 398 Days | 6.30% – 6.75% | 6.80% – 7.25% |
| 399 Days (Special) | 7.25% | 7.75% |
| 3 Years – 10 Years | 6.50% | 7.00% |
Benefits for Senior Citizens
Union Bank of India typically offers an additional interest rate component for older adults:
- Senior Citizens (60+ years): Usually get an additional 0.50% over the standard card rate.
- Super Senior Citizens (80+ years): May receive an additional 0.75% depending on the specific scheme.
Tax Deduction at Source (TDS)
Please note that the calculator displays the gross maturity amount. Interest income from Fixed Deposits is fully taxable. Banks deduct TDS at 10% if the interest income exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for Senior Citizens) in a financial year, provided the PAN card is submitted. If PAN is not submitted, TDS is deducted at 20%.
