RD tips

  • Compare Federal Bank's RD rate against the top-rate table above before committing.
  • Use an RD to build a habit of saving a fixed amount every month.
  • If you already have a lump sum, an FD usually earns more than an RD for the same rate — see the Federal Bank FD Calculator.

How it's calculated

A recurring deposit adds a fixed amount every month, and interest compounds quarterly — the convention Indian banks, including Federal Bank, actually use for RDs. Each month's deposit is folded into the next quarterly compounding cycle using the standard "banker's RD formula":

M = R × [ (1 + i)n − 1 ] / ( 1 − (1 + i)−1/3 )

where R is the monthly deposit, i is the quarterly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 4 ÷ 100) and n is the tenure in quarters (months ÷ 3). Set the rate slider to Federal Bank's currently advertised RD rate for an accurate estimate — see the methodology page.

Example

Depositing ₹1,000 every month for 12 months at 8% (quarterly compounding) matures to roughly ₹12,529 — about ₹529 in interest on ₹12,000 saved. Swap in Federal Bank's currently advertised rate above for an exact figure.

How it works

This calculator uses the same maturity-value formula as our general RD Calculator — Federal Bank doesn't use a different compounding convention from any other Indian bank. Enter Federal Bank's currently advertised rate (check their official rates page) and your monthly deposit and tenure to see the projected maturity value.

How to use it

  • Set your monthly deposit amount and the tenure you're considering.
  • Set Federal Bank's current RD rate for that tenure — quarterly compounding is standard for Indian bank RDs.
  • Compare the result against the rate table below to see how Federal Bank stacks up against other banks.

Important caveats

  • We don't hardcode Federal Bank's specific rate into this calculator — rates change, so always check Federal Bank's official rates page before relying on a figure.
  • RD interest is fully taxable at your income slab rate — the maturity value shown is pre-tax.
  • Missing a monthly instalment on a real RD usually attracts a small penalty — this calculator assumes every instalment is paid on time.

Benefits of an RD with Federal Bank

  • Builds a fixed monthly savings habit, unlike a one-time FD deposit.
  • Federal Bank's A strong network based in Kerala with a growing national presence, useful if you prefer in-branch service.
