Showing AER (Annual Effective Rate) for the standard adult-retail FD. Hover any rate for the maths behind it, or see the full methodology for worked sums (coupon vs AER, per-payout cadences, simple-interest annualisation). Tap any column header to sort. Sparklines show each rate's movement; click a bank for its full term structure.

Tax & insurance:FD interest is subject to withholding tax and balances are covered by Sri Lanka's deposit-insurance scheme up to a statutory limit. Both are the same across licensed banks and change with policy, so confirm the current figures with the bank or the IRD. FCY FDs may require minimum balance / KYC checks at the bank's discretion.
