What is an Axis Bank FD Calculator?

Axis Bank FD calculator is an online easy-to-use tool that helps you estimate the interest and maturity amount on your FD investment. You need to enter the investment amount, rate of interest, tenure, compounding frequency, and payout period. The calculator will process this information and provide the estimated maturity amount and wealth gained or interest amount. 
This way you can estimate whether or not the FD investment options fulfill your investment goals. You can adjust the various input values on the calculator to get the most appropriate combination of inputs for your investment. 

How to use an Axis Bank FD Calculator?

To use the Axis Bank FD calculator you must keep the input values handy. All you need to do is enter the input values and the calculator will provide the results. Along with the estimated amount the calculator also provides a graphical representation of the maturity and interest amount every year-end. You can also view the results in a tabular format wherein you can view the opening balance, interest earned and closing balance at the end of each year. 
Moreover, you can use the Axis FD calculator in 2 ways. Firstly, you can know the estimated maturity amount using the investment amount method. Secondly, you can use the target amount approach. In this approach, you need to provide the target amount of maturity you want to earn with your investment. The calculator will provide how much you need to invest today to earn the target amount. 

Investment Amount Approach

This is the traditional approach of using an FD calculator to estimate the returns. This approach is a better way to estimating when you have a lump sum amount in hand or you have already decided what amount you want to invest. 
You need to follow the following steps to use the investment amount approach:

1. Enter the principal FD investment amount 
2. Provide the investment duration in years or months of investment. To enter an investment duration such as 2.5 years enter the total number of months i.e. 30 months.
3. Provide the FD interest rate
4. Select the compounding period i.e. monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. 

Once you enter these details the Axis fixed deposit calculator will provide the estimated maturity amount and interest to be earned.

Target Amount Approach

The target amount approach is a back-calculation method. Here you provide the amount you want to earn as the maturity amount. The calculator will provide the principal amount you should invest today. This approach is helpful if you already have an expense coming in the future and you wish to invest today to cover the future expense. This way you will ensure that you have invested the appropriate amount and avoid any surprises 
You need to follow the following steps:

• Firstly, Provide the target maturity amount of FD
• Secondly, Enter the investment duration in years or months. 
• Thirdly, Enter the rate of interest on FD
• Lastly, Select the compounding period i.e. monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. The compounding period is the payout tenure of the fixed deposit. The interest earned on FD depends on the compounding period. Hence, provide this detail carefully.

The calculator will provide the principal investment amount you must invest today to achieve the target maturity amount on the maturity date.

How is Axis Bank FD Interest Calculated?

You can calculate Axis fixed deposit interest using 2 methods i.e. simple interest and compound interest. The calculation of the interest amount depends on factors such as investment amount, interest rate, tenure, compounding frequency, and interest payout.  

Simple Interest on Axis Bank FD 

Simple interest is the interest earned on the investment amount for a given period of time at a predetermined interest rate. If the tenure of the fixed deposit is less than 6 months or 181 days then the interest in Axis Bank Fd is calculated using the simple interest method.
Simple Interest Formula- (P * R * T)/ 100
Where,
P = Principal amount of investment, R = Rate of FD Interest (%), T = Tenure of investment 
Let us understand the calculation with the help of an example
Mr. Sanjay invests Rs 400,000 in a fixed deposit on 1st January 2021 for a maturity period of 120 days at an interest rate of 10% per annum. 
Here, P (the investment amount) = Rs 400,000, R (rate of interest) = 10% per annum, T (tenure) = 120 days, Maturity Date = 30th April 2021
Simple interest = (P * R * T)/ 100, Simple interest = (Rs 400,000 * 10 * 120 days) / 100 * 365 days
Simple interest = Rs 13,150
Maturity amount on FD = Principal Investment Amount + Interest Earned
Maturity amount on FD = Rs 4,00,000 + Rs 13,150
Maturity amount on FD= Rs 4,13,150

Compound Interest on FD

Compound interest is the interest earned on the principal amount invested and the interest earned. The interest rate is raised to the number of periods (years) for which the interest will be compounded and multiplied to the principal amount invested. 
For a higher compounded interest amount the tenure is the most important and deciding factor. Higher the tenure and compounding frequency higher will be the interest amount and maturity amount. Moreover, a frequent/ periodic payout of interest amount leads to a lower interest amount. While an FD with a payout of interest on maturity will lead to a higher wealth gain. 
The Axis Bank fixed deposit provides a compounded interest rate only if the tenure of the fixed deposit is more than 6 months or 181 days. It provides flexibility in choosing the compounding frequency as monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly. Moreover, an FD with compound interest is a better investment option than an FD carrying simple interest. 
Compound Interest Formula
A = P (1+r/n) ^ (n * t)
Where, A = Maturity Amount, P = Principal amount invested, r = Rate of Interest (in decimals), n = number of compounding in a year, t = number of years
Example
Mr. Anil invests Rs 70,000 for a period of 4 years at a rate of interest of 12% per annum compounded quarterly. 
Here, Principal amount = Rs 70,000, Interest Rate = 12% per annum compounded half-yearly, Number of compounding in a year = 4 (once every 3 months), Number of years of investment is 4 years
Total compounding = 4 quarter * 4 years = 16 compounding
A = 70,000 (1+0.12/4) ^ (4*4)
A = Rs 1,12,329
Interest amount = Rs 1,12,329 – Rs 70,000 = Rs 42,329
