Fixed deposit calculator
Enter the amount, the rate your bank offers and the tenor in days. You get the interest and the amount at maturity.
How it's calculated
- Interest for one tenor = amount × rate × days ÷ 365.
- If you roll over the deposit with the interest, each new tenor earns interest on the larger balance.
- Banks may deduct tax from the interest before paying it. Check the net amount on your advice.
An example
₦1 million for 90 days at 15% earns ₦36,986.30. Rolled over three more times, it reaches about ₦1,156,357 after 360 days.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my bank's figure a little different?
Banks may count days differently, round each period or deduct tax from the interest. The difference is usually small.
Can I break the deposit early?
Usually, but banks often pay a lower rate or charge a fee. Ask before you book.
Fixed deposit or treasury bills?
Treasury bills are government debt sold at a discount. Compare the yield with the treasury bill calculator.
