HDFC FD Calculator

The HDFC FD Calculator is a powerful tool for investors who want to calculate the interest earned and the maturity amount on their Fixed Deposit with HDFC Bank. Whether you’re looking to plan for a short-term goal or a long-term investment, this calculator helps you estimate your returns with ease and precision.

What is an HDFC Fixed Deposit?

An HDFC Fixed Deposit (FD) is a safe and secure investment option where you deposit a lump sum amount with the bank for a specific tenure at an agreed-upon interest rate. HDFC offers attractive FD interest rates and flexible tenures to suit your investment needs. Your principal amount and the interest earned are paid back to you at maturity.

How the HDFC FD Calculator Works

To use the HDFC FD Calculator, simply input the following details:

• Deposit Amount (Minimum ₹5,000)
• Interest Rate (HDFC provides competitive interest rates based on the tenure)
• Tenure (ranging from 7 days to 10 years)
• Compounding Frequency (Quarterly or Monthly)

The calculator will then provide you with the total maturity amount and the interest earned based on these inputs, helping you plan your investments effectively.

Taxation on HDFC FD

Interest earned on HDFC FDs is taxable as per the income tax laws.

However, you can submit Form 15G or 15H if your total income is below the taxable limit to avoid TDS deduction.
