Assumptions

  • Assumes a deposit at the start of each month (annuity-due convention) and a fixed annual interest rate for the entire period.
  • Works for any regular monthly savings instrument — a recurring deposit, SIP, or simple savings plan — as long as the rate of return stays roughly constant.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Recurring Deposit Calculator?

This calculator uses monthly compounding and is a general-purpose tool for any regular savings instrument. The Recurring Deposit Calculator specifically models the standard Indian bank RD formula, which compounds quarterly — for an actual bank RD, use that calculator for a more precise figure.

What's a realistic interest rate to use?

It depends on where you're saving — a savings account or RD might offer 3-7%, while an equity-linked SIP might target higher long-term returns with more risk. Use a rate that matches your actual savings instrument.

Does saving earlier make a big difference?

Yes — because of compounding, starting a few years earlier (even with the same monthly amount) can meaningfully increase your maturity value over a long horizon.
