Final tax is charged during the term, at each annual settlement or regular payout. Same-horizon comparisons use your entered rates, fees and FX; bank day-count and deduction timing can differ.

Unresolved assumptions must be checked before acting. No financial figures are sent through these controls.

How to read this result

  1. Compare the money left after estimated tax and fees, rather than just the advertised interest rate.
  2. Tax already withheld may differ from the final tax due. Inflation and exchange rates also change what your money can buy.
  3. Check account eligibility and early-withdrawal rules with your bank. NRE tax benefits depend on meeting the rules.
Calculation details and sources

NRE interest exemption depends on FEMA / RBI conditions. RNOR income-tax status alone does not preserve an NRE account or its exemption after a permanent return.

NRO interest is taxable. Withholding may differ from final Indian tax and treaty relief may need documentation. Enter a confirmed all-in rate; no universal 10% resident TDS shortcut is used.

The gross quoted maturity is a reference. The after-tax model settles tax annually during compounding and at a final partial-year exit. Optional monthly or quarterly payouts accumulate after-tax cash separately. Actual bank day-count and withholding timing can differ.

Foreign tax is the additional effective burden after any permitted home-country credit. Do not enter gross foreign tax again if it is already relieved.

Premature withdrawal, minimum tenor, renewal, joint accounts, deposit insurance aggregation and transfer fees require product-specific review. Rates, exchange rates and inflation are user assumptions.
