How Recurring Deposits Work
You deposit a fixed amount monthly, and interest is compounded quarterly on the accumulated balance, maximizing your returns.
- • Monthly deposits with quarterly compounding
- • Formula: PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(n×t) - 1) / (r/n)] × (1 + r/n)
- • Interest calculated on accumulated deposits
- • Maturity amount = Total deposits + Interest
- • Premature withdrawal may have penalties
Investment Tips
These calculations assume quarterly compounding and fixed interest rates. Actual returns may vary based on the bank's terms and conditions. Consider factors like inflation, tax implications, and your monthly budget. RDs are ideal for building an emergency fund or saving for short to medium-term goals. Compare rates across different banks and ensure you can maintain regular monthly deposits. Consult with your bank or financial advisor for personalized advice.

What is Recurring Deposit?
A Recurring Deposit (RD) allows you to deposit a fixed amount every month for a predetermined period, earning compound interest.
RD is perfect for building a saving habit and accumulating wealth through small, regular contributions.

How RD Interest Works
RD interest is calculated using the recurring deposit formula:
Where:
- M = Maturity amount
- R = Monthly deposit amount
- i = Quarterly interest rate
