About This Calculation
Fixed Deposits at SBI are safe investments. For 20 lakh over 10 years, the interest rate is 6.8%.
We assume quarterly compounding, which is the standard practice for Indian banks.
How the Formula Works
FD maturity is calculated as A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is maturity, P is principal, r is rate, n is compounding frequency (4 for quarterly), and t is time.
