Answers about how the tool works, its limitations, and how your information is handled.
Simple interest is a quick method of calculating interest where the interest charge or yield is based solely on the original principal amount, without compounding.
The simple interest formula is I = P x R x T, where I is Interest Amount, P is Principal, R is Annual Interest Rate decimal (Rate / 100), and T is Time in years.
Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal amount throughout the entire tenure. Compound interest accumulates interest on both the principal and previously earned interest.
No. The result is a mathematical estimate for planning or educational purposes. Actual financial or tax outcomes depend on the terms, rules and circumstances that apply to you.
