Simple Interest Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
What is simple interest?
Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal. Formula: I = P × R × T / 100. It does not earn interest on accumulated interest (unlike compound interest).
Simple vs compound interest?
Simple interest grows linearly (same amount each period). Compound interest grows exponentially (interest earns interest). For the same rate, compound always yields more.
