What a company deposit is actually paying

A company deposit or an NCD quotes a coupon, but what you keep depends on when the interest arrives and what tax takes out of it. Enter the terms and this works out the return that reaches your hands.

If it includes life cover

A policy is cover and investment in one parcel, and it is only fair to price the cover separately before judging the investment. Skip this if there is no cover.

The same engine with the usual numbers already filled in: anything at all · a ULIP · a guaranteed income plan · a chit fund · a company deposit or NCD. If you have the policy document itself, with the sum assured and the bonus rates on it, the endowment calculator works from those instead.

Not connected with any insurer, bank or company, and nothing here is a quote or a recommendation. Every figure above is one you type in; this only does the arithmetic on them. Bonuses and “expected” returns shown in an illustration are usually not guaranteed — enter the guaranteed figures if you want the floor rather than the hope.
