How IDFC First Bank FD Interest is Calculated
IDFC First Bank typically uses quarterly compounding for Fixed Deposits with a tenure of 6 months or more. This means the interest you earn in the first quarter is added to your principal, and for the next quarter, you earn interest on that new, higher amount.
The mathematical formula used in this calculator is:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(n*t)
- A: Maturity Amount
- P: Principal Investment
- r: Annual FD Rate (as decimal)
- n: Number of compounding periods per year (4 for quarterly)
- t: Total tenure in years
Example Calculation
If you deposit ₹1,00,000 in an IDFC First Bank FD for 1 year at a rate of 7.50%:
| Period | Details |
|---|---|
| Investment Amount | ₹1,00,000 |
| Tenure | 1 Year (4 Quarters) |
| Compounding | Quarterly |
| Total Interest | ₹7,714 |
| Maturity Value | ₹1,07,714 |
