FD vs RD Comparison

Everything you need to know to make the best financial decisions.

How it Works

  • Input a lump sum for Fixed Deposit.
  • Input a monthly deposit for Recurring Deposit.
  • Compare the maturity values and total interest earned side-by-side.

The Formula

FD: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
RD: M = R[(1+i)^n - 1]/1-(1+i)^(-1/3)
Calculations depend on quarterly compounding.

Pro Tip

"FDs are great for lump sums, but RDs force financial discipline by making you save a portion of your salary every month."
