- Which formula does Simple Interest use?
- It uses I = P × R × T / 100, then total amount = principal + interest. Time is entered in years.
- Can you show a worked example?
- Principal 50,000 at 8% for 3 years gives I = 50,000 × 8 × 3 ÷ 100 = 12,000 interest, so the total amount is 62,000.
- How do I enter months instead of years?
- Divide the months by 12 and enter the decimal — 18 months is 1.5 years, and 9 months is 0.75 years.
- Is this the same as compound interest?
- No. Simple interest is charged on the original principal only and never compounds. Use the Compound Interest calculator when interest is added to the balance each period.
- When should I use the EMI Calculator instead?
- Use EMI when you need an estimated monthly loan installment and a reducing-balance schedule, not a single flat interest figure.
