The Formula
Simple interest is calculated using the formula:
A = P(1 + rt)
- A = Total Accrued Amount
- P = Principal Amount
- r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal)
- t = Time Period (in years)
Understanding Simple Interest
Simple interest is a quick and easy method of calculating the interest charge on a loan. It is determined by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal by the number of days that elapse between payments.
Unlike compound interest, simple interest does not "compound"—meaning you don't pay interest on the interest that has already accrued. This makes it ideal for short-term loans or auto loans.
