FAQ
What is the simple interest formula?
Simple interest equals principal multiplied by rate multiplied by time, written as P x R x T / 100. Interest is charged only on the original principal.
Does the Simple Interest Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Simple Interest Calculator runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript; the values you enter never leave your device and nothing is uploaded or saved.
How does simple interest differ from compound interest?
Simple interest is charged only on the principal, so it grows linearly; compound interest is charged on the principal plus accumulated interest, so it grows faster.
Can I use a fractional number of years?
Yes. Enter a value such as 1.5 for eighteen months; the interest scales in direct proportion to the time entered.
