NSC
NSC Calculator
Estimate National Savings Certificate maturity with annual compounding. The interest rate is an assumption you can edit — not a notified Post Office rate.
How NSC is modelled
The calculator treats the purchase as a lumpsum that compounds once a year at the rate you enter. Premature encashment and tax on accrued interest are not modelled.
NSC formula
A = P × (1 + r)^n
P is the purchase amount, r is the assumed annual rate, and n is the tenure in years with annual compounding.
Frequently asked questions
Is the default rate official?
No. It is unverified and editable. Confirm the latest notified NSC rate before you invest.
Does NSC pay interest every year in cash?
This model compounds annually into the maturity value. Actual interest-payout and tax treatment can differ; check current NSC rules.
What tenure should I enter?
NSC is commonly a five-year product. You can still model other whole-year tenures for comparison.
