Banking activities like withdrawing and depositing funds, writing a cheque, using a debit card etc., can be grasped with experience. But to be a seasoned bank account holder, you must also understand how to calculate savings account interest to make the best use of monthly interest credits, aka compounding interest, offered by banks like IDFC FIRST Bank. This simple feature the bank offers ensures your money keeps growing month-on-month just by sitting idle in your savings account. 

Let's understand the savings account interest calculation in detail.

 



Savings Account Interest Calculation

 

A Savings Account is the primary reason why you have a banking relationship. It is the most liquid form of deposit, with no time limit or maturity rules.

The bank calculates interest on the balance you maintain, and the bank monitors your daily balance to calculate the interest

Daily balance X Number of days X (Interest rate/Days in the year) 

With monthly interest credits, you get the interest amount based on your bank balance credited to your account every month. This means that the next time your bank calculates the interest on your bank balance, they will take this amount into consideration as well. 

 IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account offers an attractive and competitive interest per annum, one of the best in the industry. Besides, unlike industry norms, the interest accrued on your IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account is credited monthly. Your interest income with the IDFC FIRST Bank Savings Account undergoes a faster compounding, thus, a higher return in the long run.
