**Interest Rate Chart**

**For info on amount range interest rate chart, please refer - I**[**nterest rate chart with amount range**](https://docs.mifos.org/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration/products/fixed-deposit-products/interest-rate-chart-with-amount-range)

The interest rate chart provides the information required to calculate the interest payable on a recurring deposit account based on the recurring deposit product. When a recurring deposit product is defined you must set up one and only one interest rate chart. Additional interest rate charts can be set up after the recurring deposit product has been created.

When a recurring deposit product is initially created, the Interest Rate Chart table will be empty. Click **+Add** to create the first and any additional rows required.
