General (monthly deposit, compounding n times/year):
Let
r = R/100 (annual rate, decimal), total months m, and monthly growth factorg = (1 + r/n)^(n/12).Then for end-of-month deposits:
FV = P × (g^m − 1) / (g − 1)For beginning-of-month deposits:
FV = P × (g^m − 1) / (g − 1) × gPopular India (Quarterly compounding, monthly deposit):

q = 1 + r/4, m = 12t:End-of-month:
FV = P × [ q^(4t) − 1 ] / [ q^(1/3) − 1 ]Beginning-of-month: multiply by
q^(1/3).These are algebraically equivalent to many bank/fintech calculators.
