Kotak Mahindra Bank FD Calculator
Understanding Kotak Mahindra Bank FD Rates
Kotak Mahindra Bank offers competitive Fixed Deposit (FD) interest rates ranging from short-term periods (7 days) to long-term investments (up to 10 years). This calculator helps you estimate the wealth you will accumulate based on the latest prevailing rates. Kotak generally offers a higher interest rate for Senior Citizens (usually 0.50% additional).
How the FD Calculation Works
In India, most banks, including Kotak Mahindra Bank, follow a quarterly compounding method for fixed deposits with a tenure of 6 months or more. For shorter durations, simple interest is often applied. This calculator uses the standard compound interest formula to give you a precise maturity estimate:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
- P: Principal Investment Amount
- r: Annual Interest Rate (decimal)
- n: Number of times interest compounds per year (4 for quarterly)
- t: Total time in years
Example Calculation
Suppose you invest ₹2,00,000 in a Kotak FD for a tenure of 2 years at an interest rate of 7.10% p.a.
| Principal Amount | ₹2,00,000 |
| Interest Rate | 7.10% |
| Tenure | 2 Years |
| Maturity Value | ₹2,30,230 (approx) |
