A recurring deposit is a type of term deposit offered by banks / financial institutes which assist people with regular incomes to deposit a fixed amount every month into their RD account and earn interest at the rate applicable.

Recurring deposits: Consider the advantages and benefits. Recurring deposits are as old as savings for the banking customer. Before the country was taken over by systematic investment plans (SIP) of mutual funds, a recurring deposit was the most popular way of saving money regularly for a guaranteed interest rate.

Recurring Deposit Interest

Recurring deposit (RD) allows customers an opportunity to build their savings via regular monthly deposits of a fixed sum over a fixed period of time.

Recurring deposit matures on a specific date in the future along with all the deposits made every month

It is similar to a fixed deposit of a certain amount in month-to-month installments.

The minimum tenure of this deposit is six months and maximum is ten years.

Compound interest is added to recurring deposit at the end of every financial quarter.

Rate of interest of 5% to 7.25% is offered on RD by various financial institutions.

M =R[{(1+i)^n} – 1] ÷ 1-{(1+i)^(-1/3)}

M = Maturity value of the RD

R = Monthly RD installment to be paid

Recurring Deposit Interest Calculator

n = Number of months (tenure)

i = Rate of Interest / 400

Let’s consider an example to understand this better,

You invest a principal amount of 500 for a period of 60 months at an interest rate of 6% and it is compounded quarterly.

M =R[{(1+i)^(n/3)} – 1] ÷ 1-{(1+i)^(-1/3)}

Deposit

M =500[{(1+(6/400))^(60/3)} – 1] ÷ 1-{(1+(6/400))^(-1/3)}

M =500[{(1+(0.015))^(20)} – 1] ÷ 1-{(1+0.015)^(-1/3)}

Recurring

M =500[{(1.015)^(20)} – 1] ÷ 1-{(1+0.015)^(-1/3)}

M= 35,031.78

Maturity amount in this case at the end of 30 months will be 35,031.78.
