Simple Interest Calculator

Simple Interest is calculated on the original principal throughout the duration of the investment or loan.

The formula for Simple Interest is:

Simple Interest (SI)=P×R×T​/100

Where:

P= Principal Amount

R= Rate of Interest

T= Time Period in Months

For example, if you invest Rs. 5,000/- at an interest rate of 5% for 3 years, the simple interest would be:

SI = 5000x5x3/100

SI = 750

Thus, the interest earned would be Rs. 750/-

Compound Interest Calculator

Compound Interest is calculated on the principal amount as well as the interest that has been added to the principal over time.

The formula for Compound Interest is:

Compound Interest (CI)= P(1+(R/100))^T - P

Where:

P = Principal amount

R = Annual interest rate

T = Time period (in years)

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (optional)

What is 7% of 10,000?

To calculate 7% of 10,000:

7%×10000=(7/100)​×10000=700

So 7% of 10000 is Rs. 700/-
