Frequently Asked Questions – FD Calculator

What’s the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative FDs?

Cumulative FDs compound interest and pay the total amount at maturity, offering higher returns. Non-cumulative FDs pay interest at regular intervals (monthly/quarterly) but offer lower overall returns. For example: 100,000 at 7% for 3 years – Cumulative: 122,504, Non-cumulative: 121,000 (simple interest).

How is TDS calculated on FD interest?

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) of 10% is deducted if your FD interest exceeds 10,000 per financial year from a single bank. For example: If annual interest is 15,000, TDS = 1,500. You can submit Form 15G/15H to avoid TDS if your total income is below the taxable limit.

What are tax saver FDs and their benefits?

Tax saver FDs offer tax deduction up to 1.5 lakh under Section 80C with a mandatory 5-year lock-in period. They typically offer slightly higher interest rates than regular FDs. However, the interest earned is still taxable as per your income tax slab.

How do senior citizen FD rates work?

Senior citizens (60+ years) typically get 0.25% to 0.75% additional interest on FDs. For example: If regular rate is 7%, senior citizen rate might be 7.5%. This additional rate significantly increases returns over time, especially for longer tenures.

How does compounding frequency affect FD returns?

Higher compounding frequency increases returns. For 1,00,000 at 8% for 2 years: Yearly compounding = 1,16,640, Quarterly = 1,17,166, Monthly = 1,17,289. The difference is more significant for larger amounts and longer periods.

Can I break my FD before maturity?

Yes, most FDs allow premature withdrawal with penalty (usually 0.5% to 1% reduction in interest rate). Tax saver FDs have a 5-year lock-in and cannot be withdrawn early. Some banks offer flexi FDs allowing partial withdrawals without penalty.
