The interest you earn from your investment determines whether it is a good investment that serves your needs. The best part about investing in fixed deposits is that you can benefit from assured payouts at a fixed time. 

 

FDs offer interest in two ways, either at periodic intervals or at maturity. The interest you earn depends on your issuer and varies depending on numerous factors. If you are wondering if ₹3 interest for a ₹1 Lakh FD is good, you can use an FD calculator or a few formulae to decide. 

 

Read on to learn how to calculate ₹3 interest for a ₹1 Lakh FD and make informed investment decisions.

‘₹3 interest for ₹1 Lakh per month’ Method 

With ₹3 interest on ₹100, the annual interest rate would be 3 x 12 = 36%

For an FD investment of ₹1 Lakh for monthly payouts at ₹3 interest, your interest rate would be 36%.


Monthly interest: 1,00,000*3/100 = ₹3000

Simple Interest Method

I = p × r × t


Here, 

I = Interest amount

p = Principal amount

r = Interest rate

t = Tenor

 

To calculate the ₹3 interest for 1 Lakh for 1 year, the formula is: 

I = 1,00,000 x 36/100 x 1


Here, 36 is the annual interest rate (12 x 3), and 1 is the tenor (1 year). 

 

Interest value will be ₹36,000 yearly or ₹3,000 monthly (36,000/12). 

 

Compound Interest Method

I = [P (1 + r/n) ^nt] – P


Here,

I = Interest value

P = Principal amount

r = Interest rate

n = Number of compound periods

t = Tenor

 

To calculate the ₹3 interest for ₹1 Lakh for 1 year with annual compounding, the formula is: 

I = [1,00,000 (1+36/100/1)^1x1] – 1,00,000


Monthly payout: 36,000/12= ₹3,000 

₹3 Interest for ₹1 Lakh Per Month

As illustrated above, the ₹3 interest ₹1 Lakh per month in an FD would result in earnings of ₹3,000. However, it is crucial to remember that this may vary depending on the issuer you choose and other factors, including your investment terms. 

 

As such, you can calculate the ₹3 interest for ₹1 Lakh for various issuers and compare the earnings to choose the best option. While you can do this manually with the above formulas, the process can be tedious and time-consuming.
