How is interest and maturity amount on an RD calculated?

The interest on RDs is set by the banks. The interest rate varies with the tenure of the investment. Interest on RD is compounded on a quarterly basis. Until then, the investment will earn simple interest. Let’s take, for example, an investor invests in an RD in June. The investor will earn simple interest on the investment until September. At the end of the quarter, the interest will be compounded. In other words, the interest will earn interest. The quarters for RD investments are:

• First Quarter: April to June
• Second Quarter: July to September
• Third Quarter: October to December
• Fourth Quarter: January to March

The formula for RD interest rate and maturity value

Maturity amount and RD interest calculation are done using the formula below:

M=R*[(1+i)^(n-1)]/(1-(1+i)^(-1/3))

Where, M = Maturity value

R = Monthly Instalment

N = Number of Quarters (tenure)

i = Rate of interest/400

Monthly installment: It is the investment amount done on a monthly basis by the investor.

Number of quarters: Investment horizon of investment in quarters.

Rate of interest: The return that one can earn on the RD investment. The interest rate is set by the banks.

Example

Ms Akshara wants to invest INR 15,000 per month in an RD scheme for a tenure of 7 years or 84 months. The interest rate offered by the scheme is 6.5%. Ms Akshara can do her RD interest calculation using the following formula.

M=R*[(1+i)^(n-1)]/(1-(1+i)^(-1/3))

M = 15000*[(1+6.5/400)^(28-1)](1-(1+6.5/400)^(-1/3))

M = 15,96,705

For a total investment of INR 12,60,000. The interest earned is INR 3,36,705, and the maturity value is INR 15,96,705.
