What do you mean by RD (Recurring Deposit)?

Recurring Deposit (RD) is an investment cum saving option offered by the Indian Banks and Post Office to the investors. It is a similar product to FD. The only point of difference is that in FD, you invest a lumpsum amount once. Whereas in RD, you deposit a fixed amount every month.

RD is a flexible investment option, as the users can decide the investment tenure and monthly amount at their convenience. The interest rate and the investment tenure are determined beforehand. The RD scheme aims to instil the habit of regular saving in the customer.

You can start an RD account with as little as Rs.1000 monthly. The initial or the minimum deposit can also vary from bank to bank. The minimum investment tenure is six months & the maximum investment tenure is 10 Years. In case of any emergency, you can deposit the amount pre-maturely after fulfilling the conditions that your respective bank imposes.

What is an RD calculator?

An RD calculator is an online tool that enables you to calculate the maturity amount for your RD account. The calculation of the RD investment involves complex formulas and equations. But don’t worry, that's where Pocketful’s online RD calculator comes to your rescue.

Our online RD calculator has a user-friendly interface, which is suitable for beginners as well. It helps you compare the returns on RD account deposits offered by various banks. It also assists you in doing your financial planning accordingly, depending on your financial goals.

How does an RD calculator work?

Like all the other investment return calculators, the RD calculator works on the compounding interest calculator formula.

The formula is given below:

A = P[(1+I)^N-1]/(1-(1+I)^(-1/3))

A	Maturity Amount
P	Monthly installment amount
N	Number of quarters
I	Interest rate

Let’s understand it with an example.

Suppose Mr. X wants to open an RD account in SBI Bank. He decided to invest INR 5,000 monthly for the next five years. The bank is offering an interest rate of 8% on the RD account.

Well, in this case, “P” will be 5,000, “I” will be 8% & “N” will be 60.

The maturity amount that Mr. X will receive at the end of five years will be INR 3,69,309.
