About FD Monthly Interest Payout Calculator

Monthly-payout FDs convert a deposit into salary-like income: ₹20 lakh at a 7.25% card rate pays roughly ₹11,900 a month — the staple income machine for Indian retirees alongside SCSS and POMIS. Note the fine print this calculator models honestly: monthly payouts use a DISCOUNTED rate (slightly below card-rate ÷ 12) because you're taking interest before the quarterly compounding date. The 'forgone versus cumulative' output prices the income convenience: over 5 years the same FD left to compound earns visibly more — that gap is what you pay for monthly liquidity. The clean framework: income you'll actually SPEND belongs in payout FDs; income you'd re-deposit belongs in cumulative FDs from day one (re-investing payout interest manually at savings rates is the worst of both). Retiree structuring tips: split the corpus across 2–3 banks to stay near DICGC's ₹5 lakh insurance per bank; stagger across tenures so reinvestment risk (today's 7.25% may be 6% at maturity) arrives in instalments; and seniors get +0.25–0.75% on card rates — always book under the senior citizen's name in a couple. Compare against SCSS first (higher rate, government-backed, ₹30 lakh cap) before parking retirement money in bank payout FDs.

Frequently asked questions

₹1 crore ki FD se monthly kitna milega?+

7.25% card rate par ~₹59,500/month (discounted monthly basis). 7% par ~₹57,500, 7.5% par ~₹61,600. Tax yaad rakhein: poora interest slab par taxable hai, aur ₹50,000+ saal ke interest par TDS bhi chalega — net cash isliye thoda kam aayega.

Monthly payout ka rate card rate se kam kyun hota hai?+

Card rate quarterly compounding maan kar likha jata hai. Monthly lene par aap interest compounding se PEHLE nikaal lete hain, to bank usko discount karke deta hai — (1+r/4)^(1/3) − 1 per month. Farak chhota hai (~0.05–0.08%) par hai zaroor; kuch banks isko 'monthly discounted rate' ke naam se card me alag dikhate hain.

Senior citizen ke liye sabse achha income option kya hai?+

Order aksar yeh banta hai: SCSS (8.2%-class, sarkari, ₹30 lakh tak, quarterly payout) → POMIS (7.4%-class, ₹9/15 lakh caps, monthly) → bank senior FDs (+0.5% over card). Teeno bhar jaane ke baad hi regular payout FDs. Ladder + insurance-limits ka dhyan rakhte hue mix banayein — hamare SCSS/POMIS calculators side me hain.

Kya monthly payout FD me TDS har mahine katega?+

TDS interest credit par lagta hai — payout FD me wahi har mahine hai, to haan, threshold cross hone ke baad har payout par kat'ta chalega. 15G/15H (eligible ho to) file karne par rukta hai. Year-end me Form 26AS/AIS se total TDS milaa kar return me credit le lein.
