ICICI Bank Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Calculator
Often, the first question that arises in everyone's mind is what is the total amount that they would receive on maturity. Manual calculations can be daunting and involve chances of error. The ICICI Bank Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana calculator is here to make the calculations simple for you. The calculator is free to use, and you can make an informed decision on how much you want to invest per year and start creating your corpus.Â

How Does the ICICI Bank Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Calculator Work?Â
The tenure of the scheme's maturity is 21 years, and you are expected to make the minimum payments for the next 15 years from when you start the plan. The interest charged would be on the previous installments and the amount accumulated.Â
The calculator uses the following formula:Â
A = P (1 + r/ n) ^ nt
Where,Â
A = Compound Interest
P = Principal Amount
r = Rate of Interest
n = Number of times the interest compounds in a year
t = No. of YearsÂ
While using the calculator, enter the total amount you want to invest annually. Select the current interest rate once you have decided the amount. The interest rate can be changed anytime by the Indian Ministry of Finance. Using the slider, select the girl's age and the year you want to begin.Â
The calculator would then display the total maturity amount, year of maturity, the total amount paid, and interest accumulated. Since it is a free calculator, you can make changes in the inputs until you get the desired amount.Â
