What is Interest Earned?

Interest earned is the amount of money your deposit generates over a period of time. Banks and financial institutions pay you interest in return for holding your money. The interest can be paid out at different frequencies � monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. For multi-year deposits, try our FD Calculator or Compound Interest Calculator.

Interest Formula

Simple Interest (Annual):

Interest = P � R / 100

Where P = Principal (investment amount), R = Annual interest rate (%).

Interest per period = Annual interest � number of periods in a year.

Payout Frequency Explained

  • Monthly: Interest credited 12 times a year � ideal for regular income needs.
  • Quarterly: Interest credited 4 times a year � the most common FD payout frequency.
  • Half-Yearly: Interest credited 2 times a year � used by some bonds and deposits.
  • Yearly: Interest credited once a year � simple and easy to track.
