Fixed-deposit maturity is issuer math, not a market forecast
An FD calculator compounds a deposit at the rate the bank prints on the receipt. Toolioz uses that rate and tenure. It does not fetch live card rates or TDS.
Compounding and premature withdrawal
Many Indian banks compound quarterly on retail FDs. If the page frequency is quarterly, n = 4 in A = P (1 + r/n)^(n t). A ₹1,00,000 deposit at 7% for 5 years quarterly is about ₹1,41,478 before tax. Annual compounding at the same 7% is about ₹1,40,255. Ask the bank which convention it uses; do not assume this tool matches every product.
Breaking an FD early usually applies a lower rate and sometimes a penalty. The maturity value shown here assumes the deposit runs to tenure. Senior-citizen extra rates are a bank discretionary add-on you must type into the rate box yourself.
Worked examples
TDS intuition
Interest above a statutory threshold in a financial year can attract TDS. The maturity figure is gross unless you lower the rate. Check the current threshold on the Income Tax Department site.
