Same money, same tenure, same tax slab, compared honestly.
Generic SIP and EMI calculators are everywhere, and not one of them helps you judge a bond. The questions that come up when you are looking at an NCD are narrower. What return am I really getting at this price? What will I pay on settlement day? How much of the next coupon belongs to the seller? What is left after tax? Is any of this better than a plain fixed deposit?
Each calculator answers one of those questions. None of them price credit risk, which is what decides whether a high yield is an opportunity or a warning. For that you read the rating next to the number, and bond credit ratings explained is where to start.
Every result carries the same disclaimer for a reason. These are estimates for comparison. Your actual outcome depends on the price you pay, accrued interest, reinvestment, fees, tax, and the issuer paying in full.
