How to Calculate PNB FD Interest Rate

The interest that you will earn out of your Punjab National Bank FD can be easily calculated using a fixed deposit interest rate calculator. This tool is very useful for prospective investors because it will help them know how much to invest to get the desired returns. To calculate the total earnings you will get out of your PNB FD, there are many factors that need to be considered. Let us take a look at some of these factors below.

Factors That Affect FD Maturity Amount

  1. Rate of interest - The rate at which a depositor is paid is an important factor that helps calculate the returns at the time of maturity. Note that the interest rate is different for different tenures.
  2. Amount invested - The principal that you invest is also a key piece of information that is needed to calculate the maturity amount using the FD calculator.
  3. Time period - Along with factors such as interest rate and principal, the tenure of the investment is also crucial because different time periods offer different interest rates.
  4. Compounding frequency - There are different interest compounding frequencies including monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly. The time interval of interest compounding plays a pivotal role in determining the total value of the term deposit at the time of maturity
  5. Taxation - The amount of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) also makes a difference as far as the total maturity value of the deposit is concerned.
