The formula to calculate simple interest is straightforward:
I = P times r times t
I = Interest earned
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
t = Time in years
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
t = Time in years
For compound interest, which is more common, the formula becomes:
A = P times (1 + r)^t
A = Total amount after t years
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
t = Time in years
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
t = Time in years
