How ICICI NRE FD Calculation Works
The ICICI NRE Fixed Deposit interest is typically compounded on a quarterly basis. As per RBI guidelines, NRE deposits must have a minimum tenure of 1 year to earn interest. If the deposit is liquidated before 1 year, no interest is paid.
The formula used for quarterly compounding is:
A = P [1 + (r/n)]^(nt)
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Deposit Amount
- r: Annual Interest Rate (as decimal)
- n: Number of times interest compounds per year (4 for quarterly)
- t: Total tenure in years
Example Calculation
If you invest ₹5,00,000 in an ICICI NRE FD for 2 years at an interest rate of 7% per annum:
- Principal: ₹5,00,000
- Tenure: 2 Years
- Compounding: Quarterly (4 times a year)
- Maturity Value: Approx. ₹5,74,440
- Total Interest: Approx. ₹74,440
