How to use

  1. Enter how much you will deposit every year (₹500 to ₹1.5 lakh).
  2. Keep the current rate of 7.1% or enter a different one.
  3. Choose the number of years — 15, or more if you extend the account.
  4. See the maturity amount and total interest.

Formula

Interest is compounded once a year. The calculator assumes you deposit at the start of each financial year (before 5 April), so every deposit earns interest for the full year.
Maturity = P × ((1 + r)n − 1) ÷ r × (1 + r)
