How much FD needed for Rs 50000 monthly income?
At 7% interest rate you need approximately Rs 85.7 lakh in FD to generate Rs 50000 monthly income. At 7.5% you need Rs 80 lakh. Remember FD interest is fully taxable so in the 30% tax bracket your effective monthly income from Rs 85.7L FD is Rs 35000 after tax. Consider tax-free options like SCSS for better post-tax returns.
Monthly payout vs cumulative FD which is better?
Cumulative FD gives higher total returns due to quarterly compounding on the interest. Rs 10 lakh at 7% for 5 years: cumulative gives Rs 14.15 lakh maturity while monthly payout gives Rs 10L + Rs 3.50L interest = Rs 13.50L total. Cumulative gives Rs 65000 more. Choose monthly only if you need regular income.
Is FD interest taxable?
