Frequently asked questions

What is the simple interest formula?

Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) ÷ 100, where rate is per year and time is in years. The total you get back is principal plus interest.

How is it different from compound interest?

Simple interest is always charged on the original principal only. Compound interest is charged on the principal plus the interest already earned, so it grows faster over time.
