The maturity amount in a fixed deposit is the amount that you will receive at the end of the FD tenure. If you have chosen the reinvestment option, the maturity amount will be higher than the initial deposit you made. You can use the formula shown below to compute the maturity amount.
Maturity Value = Principal amount * (1 + interest rate ÷ 4)(n * 4)
Here, ‘n’ stands for the tenure of investment.
Manually calculating the maturity amount using the formula shown above can be cumbersome. Fortunately, there is a free online tool you can use to compute this amount. This tool is the Yes Bank FD calculator, available on Bajaj MARKETS.
Here are the steps you need to follow to use the Yes Bank FD calculator on Bajaj MARKETS.

Then, select the other details like the interest payout frequency, the type of customer you are (senior or non-senior citizen) and the type of FD you want to open (cumulative or non-cumulative).
After these inputs are provided, the Yes Bank FD calculator computes and displays the total maturity amount and the total interest you will earn.
