At DBS Bank, the interest rate on your Savings account is calculated based on the available closing balance each day. The formula is:
Savings Account Interest = (Daily Closing Balance x Interest Rate x Number of Days) ÷ 365
Alternatively, you can use a savings account interest rate calculator to easily get the estimated interest earnings on your savings.
Interest earned on savings accounts is taxable, but banks do not deduct TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on this income. Instead, it is added to your total income and taxed as per your applicable income tax slab.
DBS Bank Savings Account does more than just storing your money. It’s designed to make everyday banking simple, secure and rewarding.

Savings account interest is the return you earn on the money parked in your account. It is calculated daily on the closing balance and credited to your account on a quarterly or yearly basis, or as decided by the bank.
Savings account interest rates are calculated using the formula:
Interest = (Daily Balance × Rate × Number of Days) ÷ 365
Banks typically follow the daily balance method and credit interest quarterly.
Several factors can influence bank savings interest rates, such as RBI regulations, bank policies, market conditions, and the type of account. Premium or high-interest savings account options may offer better rates.
