1️⃣ What is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a secure investment where you deposit a lump sum for a fixed period and earn interest at a predetermined rate. It is one of the safest investment options offered by banks and financial institutions.
2️⃣ How is FD interest calculated?
FD interest is calculated based on the principal amount, interest rate, tenure, and compounding frequency. Most banks use compound interest, which means interest is earned on both the principal and accumulated interest.
3️⃣ What is the difference between simple and compound interest in FD?
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on both the principal and previously earned interest. Compound interest results in higher returns over time
4️⃣ What is FD maturity amount?
FD maturity amount is the total amount you receive at the end of the investment period, including both the principal and the interest earned.
5️⃣ What is FD laddering and why is it useful?
FD laddering is a strategy where you split your investment into multiple FDs with different maturities. This helps improve liquidity, manage risk, and take advantage of changing interest rates.
