Calculation Steps

  • 1Enter regular monthly installment amount P.
  • 2Enter annual interest rate and total deposit tenure in months.
  • 3Calculate compounding for each monthly deposit from its payment date to maturity.
  • 4Sum all accumulated installments to determine total maturity value.

Calculation: Total Deposited = 5,000 * 24 = ₹1,20,000 | Maturity Value = ~₹1,28,842

Result: Total Deposited: ₹1,20,000 | Interest Earned: ₹8,842 | Maturity Value: ₹1,28,842
