RD vs FD Calculator

Both are safe deposits, but the cash-flow timing changes the outcome. Compare the same money in an RD versus an FD.

Compare a recurring deposit against a fixed deposit of the same total amount, and see which earns more.

Questions, answered

Should I choose RD or FD?

If you already hold the lump sum, an FD almost always earns more because the entire amount compounds for the full term. A recurring deposit suits money you are still earning month by month, since it lets you save with discipline without waiting to accumulate a lump sum.
