How to Calculate NSC Interest Amount?

Follow these steps to use the NSC calculator:

Select the amount

Next, slide the bar to select the rate of interest

Select the compounding frequency

Select yearly or half-yearly compounding frequency

Based on your input, the NSC calculator will display the total interest earned and the total maturity value that you will receive after 5 years.

What is the Formula to Calculate NSC Interest?

Since the interest earned on an NSC investment is compounded yearly or half-yearly, the compound interest formula is used to compute the returns on NSC investments, which is
A = P(1 + r/100)^n, where A = Final value at the maturity, P = principal amount invested, r = Rate of interest applied and n = number of years (the maturity period).

For instance, Assume you deposit ₹1 lakh in a 5-year National Savings Certificate with a 6.8% interest rate.
Maturity Amount = ₹1,00,000[1+ 6.8/100]^5 = ₹1,46,254
The total interest earned = ₹(1,46,254 – 1,00,000) = ₹46,254
