The Formula to Calculate the PNB FD Maturity Amount

We calculate the FD maturity amount and returns using the following formula:

A = P (1 + r/n) ^ n*t

Where:

A = Total value of maturity

P = Principal Amount

r = Annual Interest Rate

t = Time (in years)

n = Number of times interest is compounded

This formula calculates your maturity amount directly, allowing you to understand how the investment amount will grow over time.

Calculation of PNB FD Returns

Suppose you invest ₹35,000 (P) in a fixed deposit for five years (t) at an annual interest rate of 7% (r), with interest compounded twice yearly (n = 2).

Given:

Principal Amount (P) = ₹35,000

Annual Interest Rate (r) = 7% or 0.07

Time (t) = 5 years

Number of times interest is compounded (n) = 2 (Half-Yearly)

A = P (1 + r/n) ^ n*t

A = 35000 (1 + 0.07/2) ^ 2*5

A = 35000 (1 + 0.035) ^ 10

A = 35000 (1.035) ^ 10

A = 35000 * 1.41

A = 49,350

The maturity amount after five years would be ₹49,350, and the interest earned over this period would be ₹14,350.
