✅ What Is an Interest Calculator?
An Interest Calculator is a tool that helps us find out how much money we’ll earn (or pay) on an amount of money over time—either with simple interest or compound interest. It shows the total interest and final value.
✅ How Can This Interest Calculator Help Us?
- Quickly see how much interest we’d earn or owe
- Compare simple vs compound interest side by side
- Understand how time and compounding frequency affect growth
- Visualize results with clear charts
✅ What Is the Formula for Simple Interest?
We calculate simple interest using this formula:
A = P (1+rt)
- A = final amount (principal + interest)
- P = principal (starting amount)
- r = annual rate (in decimals)
✅ Simple Interest Example
If we invest $19,000 at 6% simple interest for 2 years:
- Interest = 19,000 × 0.06 × 2 = $2,280
End balance = $19,000 + $2,280 = $21,280
✅ What Is the Formula for Compound Interest?
We calculate compound interest using:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
- A = final amount (principal + interest)
- P = principal
- r = annual rate (in decimals)
- n = times interest is compounded per year
t = time in years
✅ Compound Interest Example
If we invest $19,000 at 6% interest compounded annually for 2 years:
- Use formula → A = 19,000× (1 + 0.06/1)^(1 × 2) ≈ 21,348.40
Interest earned ≈ $2,348.40 over 2 years
