How This Works

This calculator compares the true cost of two ways to get money when you have an existing FD:

Break FD: Withdraw from your fixed deposit early. You lose the remaining interest you would have earned, plus pay a premature withdrawal penalty. However, you avoid any loan EMIs.
Take Loan: Borrow the amount you need at a given interest rate. You pay interest on the loan plus processing fees, but your FD continues to earn interest until maturity.

The verdict depends on whether the interest you would lose (plus penalty) by breaking the FD is more or less than the loan interest and fees. Lower FD rates and higher loan rates favour breaking the FD; higher FD rates and lower loan rates favour keeping the FD and borrowing.

Read all scheme-related documents carefully before investing. Past performance does not guarantee future returns.
