How the HDFC RD Calculator Works

Inputs Required

• Monthly deposit amount
• Tenure (in months or years)

Formula Used

Maturity Amount = P × [ (1 + r/n)nt – 1 ] / (1 – (1 + r/n)–1/3)

• P: Monthly deposit
• r: Annual interest rate in decimal
• n: Number of compounding periods per year (4 for quarterly)
• t: Tenure in years

Output Provided

Example

If you invest ₹5,000 per month in an HDFC RD for 3 years at an interest rate of 7% p.a.:

• Total deposited = ₹1.8 lakh
• Interest earned ≈ ₹20,500
• Maturity amount ≈ ₹2.00 lakh
