About the RD Calculator

The RD Calculator estimates the maturity value of recurring monthly deposits. It is useful for savers who prefer disciplined bank deposits and want to know how much a fixed monthly contribution may become over a chosen tenure.

Recurring deposits can suit short and medium-term goals because the contribution amount is predictable. The trade-off is that post-tax and inflation-adjusted returns may be lower than market-linked products. Before choosing an RD, compare the maturity value with FD, SIP, inflation, and emergency-fund alternatives.

A recurring deposit is particularly useful for salaried individuals who can set aside a fixed amount from their salary every month without the complexity of managing a mutual fund or tracking market movements. The discipline embedded in an RD — a fixed monthly contribution that continues automatically — mirrors the same habit-building logic behind SIP investing, but without market risk.

However, the tax treatment of RD interest follows the same rules as FD interest, meaning the accrued interest is taxable each year. This can reduce the effective post-tax return meaningfully for users in higher tax brackets. The calculator helps you estimate this before committing to an RD so you can compare it fairly with tax-efficient alternatives like PPF or ELSS.

Gizcalc shows total invested amount, interest earned, maturity value, and a year-wise projection for quick planning.
