Calculation of Monthly Interest Payout on a ₹40 Lakh Fixed Deposit

You can calculate the interest on ₹40 lakh FD per month either manually or by using an FD calculator. For the calculator, simply enter the principal amount, interest rate and tenure to get the monthly payout estimate.

To calculate the ₹40 lakh fixed deposit monthly interest payout, you can use the following formula:

Monthly Interest Payout = Principal × Annual Interest Rate / 12

Suppose you invest ₹40 lakh in an FD with an annual interest rate of 6.5% for a tenure of 2 years. Here is how you can calculate the monthly interest:

Monthly Interest = ₹40,00,000 × 6.5% / 12 = ₹40,00,000 × 0.07 / 12 = ₹21,666.66

Penalty for Premature Withdrawal of a ₹40 Lakh Fixed Deposit

Prematurely withdrawing from a fixed deposit can impact your earnings due to reduced interest rates and possible penalty charges from banks and NBFCs. These penalties and adjusted rates can notably reduce your returns.

Suppose you invest ₹40 lakh in an FD for 3 years at an interest rate of 8.00% per annum, but you decide to withdraw after 2 years. In this case, the interest rate for the 2-year term would drop to 7.00% per annum With an additional 1% penalty, the effective rate becomes 6.00% per annum, leading to lower returns.

Parameter	Details
Principal amount invested	₹40,00,000
Maturity after 3 years	₹50,38,848
Interest rate at the time of booking	8.00% per annum
Effective interest rate for 1-year tenure	7.00% per annum
Premature withdrawal penalty rate	1% per annum
Final interest rate	6.00% per annum
Final amount payable	₹47,20,000
