RD Calculator

An RD calculator is a tool designed to calculate the interest and earnings on recurring deposits in a simple and quick manner. Using this tool, you can easily find out the accrued interest and returns without wasting any time.

Investing in recurring deposits gives you interest that is calculated with the help of several factors, such as principal amount, rate of interest, tenure, compounding frequency, etc. However, the manual calculation may be tedious and prone to error. Here is where the RD percentage calculator comes in handy, enabling you to do calculations in an error-free manner.

Thus, by using this tool, you are saved from the hassle of a complicated calculation, which is both time-consuming and difficult. Let us look at some ways in which this calculator can be useful for investors.

The TATA AIG RD calculator is an excellent tool that eliminates errors from interest calculation, enabling you to find out precisely how much your recurring deposits will earn you over the period of years. The calculator works in the following manner:

• The Deposit Amount : The calculator considers the investment amount that you want to deposit each month. The deposit amount is one of the primary pieces of information that the calculator requires to do the calculations.

• The Rate of Interest : The rate of interest may vary from one institute to another. It is expressed as a percentage.

• Tenure of the Deposit : Tenure is the period in months or years for which you want to invest in recurring deposits. The minimum tenure for an RD is six months and may vary across banks and financial institutions. You must input the tenure based on the number of years you want to invest.

• Customer Type : Select the type of customer you are, i.e. regular or senior citizen, as the calculation is different for both categories of customers.

• Compounding Frequency : The compounding frequency is mostly set to 4, i.e. quarterly. In some cases, you may have the option to choose the compounding frequency.

The RD calculator tool works on the basis of a mathematical formula to calculate the interest and maturity amount. Let us see how the formula works and how the calculation is made with the help of an example.

The formula for RD is:

A= P(1+R/N)^Nt*

Where,

A= Maturity amount (Principal + Interest)

P= Principal (Monthly investment)

R= Rate of interest (%)

N= Compounding frequency

t= Tenure (Number of years/months)

Let us assume an example to help you understand how the recurring deposit calculation is carried out.

A person (non-senior citizen) makes an RD of ₹10,000 per month for a period of one year. The rate of interest is 6% and the compounding frequency is 4. Here is what the calculation table will look like:

A= 10000*(1+6%/4)^4*12

A= 10000* (1+ 0.06/4)^4*12

A= ₹1,24,568

Let us consider another example, where the same amount of money, ₹10,000, is invested by a senior citizen. The rate of interest is 7.10% and the tenure is 1 year.

A= 10000*(1+7.10%/4)^4*12

A= 10000* (1+0.071/4)^4*12

A= ₹1,25,343

Here is an example of a month-by-month calculation of recurring deposit interest and maturity, where a person invests ₹1000 per month for 12 months @ 4.9% for a compounding frequency of 4 (quarterly).

Month	Calculation Formula	Interest Amount
1	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*1/12)	₹49.75
2	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*2/12)	₹99.75
3	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*3/12)	₹150
4	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*4/12)	₹200.50
5	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*5/12)	₹251.25
6	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*6/12)	₹302.25
7	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*7/12)	₹353.51
8	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*8/12)	₹405.02
9	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*9/12)	₹456.78
10	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*10/12)	₹508.81
11	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*11/12)	₹561.09
12	10000*(1+0.06/4)^(4*12/12)	613.64
-	Total Interest	₹3952.35
-	Maturity Amount	₹1,23,952.35

Thus, it is evident that the calculation of recurring deposits involves a lot of complexity, increasing the chances of errors if done manually. In such a scenario, the RD percentage calculator proves to be an efficient tool, which eliminates all the complexity and brings precision into the calculation.

• High Rate of Interest- The rate of interest earned on a recurring deposit is higher than the regular savings account, leading to wealth growth.

• Lock-in Period- A recurring deposit involves a lock-in period, during which, you cannot withdraw the investment amount.

• Loan- You may also be able to avail of a loan facility against your recurring deposit if the institution allows it.

Benefits

• Safe Investment Option- Recurring deposits are a safe investment option as there is little to no risk involved. Your money is safe with the bank or institute you choose as it is not dabbled in the markets.

• Helps to Save Money- Investing in recurring deposits enables you to develop a habit of saving money. Besides, you also earn an interest on your savings, which doubles the benefits.

• Beneficial for Senior Citizens- Senior citizens are eligible to earn a higher rate of interest on their money deposited in recurring deposits. Thus, they can earn a higher income and have a secure retirement.

• Lump-Sum Payment at Maturity- When the recurring deposit tenure ends, the bank pays a lump sum amount, including the principal and the interest. Thus, you can use the amount to invest and achieve your financial goals.

Recurring deposits are available in different types to suit various investors. Here are the most common types of recurring deposits.

Senior Citizen RD- This type of recurring deposit is specifically designed for senior citizens. It provides them with the added advantage of higher interest rates than the regular RDs. It allows senior citizens and retired individuals to withdraw higher maturity amounts and manage their finances securely.

RD for Minors- Minors under the age of 18 are eligible to invest in this type of account. However, it can be done under the supervision of a parent or guardian. The monthly investment amount will be specified at the time of opening the account, just the regular RD accounts. The rate of interest for such accounts may be slightly higher than the regular RD account.

RD for NRI/NRE- Non-resident Indians can also invest their wealth in recurring deposit accounts and allow it to grow safely. By investing a small amount regularly, they can earn a substantial interest at the end of the tenure. One can invest through the NRE or NRO RD account.

Regular RD- This is the regular RD account that can be opened by normal citizens who do not fall under the above three categories. The rate of interest may differ from other types of accounts. However, the workings of the RD account remain the same.

Investing in a recurring deposit account is an efficient way to save and earn interest on your wealth. However, there are certain factors that you must consider before investing, as they may affect your liquidity, earnings, etc.

• Investment Principal - You can open a recurring deposit with a minimal amount as per your bank’s/institution’s policy. Since there is no requirement for a large fixed sum, this investment option appeals to many.

• RD Tenure - The tenure for parking your money in a recurring deposit account may be as less as six months and as high as 10 years. Thus, you can choose a suitable tenure that aligns with your future plans. However, you should know that once you invest the money, you cannot alter the tenure.

• Taxability of Income - Another crucial factor is the taxability of the interest earned on recurring deposits. If your income from recurring deposits exceeds ₹40,000 in a year, a TDS of 10% will be deducted.

• Withdrawal - You must know that no withdrawals/partial withdrawals are allowed from the recurring deposit. If you have to make any premature withdrawals, you can do so after paying a penalty.
