Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Interest Calculator?
An Interest Calculator is a tool that helps you calculate both simple interest and compound interest on investments or loans. It shows how much interest you will earn or pay over a specified period based on the principal amount, interest rate, and time period.
What is the difference between simple and compound interest?
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest. Compound interest grows faster as it earns "interest on interest," making it beneficial for investments but costlier for loans.
How is simple interest calculated?
Simple interest is calculated using the formula: SI = (P × R × T) / 100, where P is the principal amount, R is the annual interest rate, and T is the time period in years. The total amount is Principal + Simple Interest.
How is compound interest calculated?
Compound interest is calculated using the formula: A = P(1 + R/n)^(n×T), where P is principal, R is annual rate, n is compounding frequency, and T is time in years. The compound interest is A - P.
