1. Principal: It refers to the initial investment amount done by you. Higher principal amount attracts higher interest.


2. Interest rate: It is the rate that determines the amount you will receive on maturity along with the principal investment amount. A higher interest rate results in higher earnings.


3. Tenure: FDs usually have high-interest rates for longer tenures which results in higher earnings.


4. Compounding frequency: Higher compounding frequency means higher earnings.


5. Taxation: FD attracts tax on its interest and the subsequent tax liability decreases your earnings.


6. Inflation: FDs have always been unable to provide decent returns that can even meet inflation and if the inflation rate exceeds the FD interest rate, investor’s earnings will wear down.
