Save money earned abroad in Indian NRE account?

Hi Folks,

I work in US.  The checking and savings account interest rate is very little here. I got to know that NRE account in Yes Bank will get us 7% interest rate for deposits of more than 1 lakh INR.

So, this seems a very good idea. My question is how much does it cost to transfer money from Indian to US bank account.

If I transfer 50k Rs per month to NRE account, then considering 7% interest rate, at the end of 1 year, I will get around 25k as interest.

Also, NRE accounts are exempt from tax. What  I want to know is that if I want to transfer money from India to US account, will I be in loss or profit ? Also, could anybody share per day interest rate calculator which is used for calculating interests in Indian bank accounts?

Regards,

Sachin
