How RD Calculator Works

Calculate recurring deposit returns in 3 simple steps:

1

Enter Monthly Deposit

Enter the amount you want to deposit every month. Minimum β‚Ή500, maximum β‚Ή1 Lakh per month. Choose an amount that fits your budget.

2

Set Interest Rate & Duration

Enter the annual interest rate offered by your bank (typically 5.5-7.5%). Choose deposit period from 6 months to 10 years.

3

View Maturity Details

See total maturity amount, interest earned, and investment breakdown. Compare with different rates and tenures to maximize returns.

RD Calculation Formula

M = P Γ— [(1 + i)^n - 1] / [1 - (1 + i)^(-1/3)]
M Maturity amount
P Monthly deposit amount
i Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 / 100)
n Number of months (tenure)

Example Calculation

Monthly Deposit: β‚Ή5,000

Interest Rate: 6.5% per year

Duration: 5 years (60 months)

Monthly Rate: 6.5 / 12 / 100 = 0.00542

Total Invested: β‚Ή5,000 Γ— 60 = β‚Ή3,00,000

Maturity Amount: β‚Ή3,53,143

Interest Earned: β‚Ή53,143

Effective Yield: 17.7% on invested amount

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Recurring Deposit (RD)?

Recurring Deposit is a savings scheme where you deposit a fixed amount every month for a predetermined period. At maturity, you receive principal + interest. RD is ideal for regular savers who want to build corpus through small monthly contributions.

What is the current RD interest rate?

RD rates vary by bank and tenure. Current rates (2025): 5.5-7.5% for regular customers, 6.0-8.0% for senior citizens. Rates are similar to FD rates for equivalent tenures. Longer tenures typically offer higher rates.

What is minimum and maximum RD amount?

Minimum: β‚Ή100-β‚Ή1,000 per month (varies by bank). Maximum: No limit, but most banks allow up to β‚Ή1 lakh per month for online RD. Larger amounts possible with branch visit.

Can I miss an RD installment?

Banks allow 1-4 missed installments depending on tenure. Penalty charged: β‚Ή1-5 per β‚Ή100 of installment per month. Repeated defaults may lead to account closure. Set auto-debit to avoid missing payments.

Can I close RD before maturity?

Yes, premature closure allowed after 3-6 months (varies by bank). Interest paid at reduced rate (usually 1-2% less). Penalty of 0.5-1% may apply. Check terms before opening RD.

Is RD interest taxable?

Yes, RD interest is fully taxable as per your income tax slab. Banks deduct TDS if interest exceeds β‚Ή40,000/year (β‚Ή50,000 for senior citizens). Submit Form 15G/15H if total income below taxable limit to avoid TDS.

RD vs SIP: Which is better?

RD: Guaranteed returns (6-7%), zero risk, lower returns. Best for: Conservative investors, short-term goals (1-5 years), capital preservation. SIP: Market-linked returns (10-15% historical), higher risk. Best for: Long-term goals (5+ years), wealth creation, risk-takers.

Can I get loan against RD?

Yes, most banks offer loans against RD up to 80-90% of deposit value. Interest rate: 1-2% above RD rate. No processing fee, instant approval. RD continues to earn interest and mature normally.
