Formula Explained
The simple interest formula is:
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Where:
- Principal is the initial amount of money.
- Rate is the interest rate (0.25% or 0.0025 in decimal).
- Time is the duration the money is invested or borrowed.
For example, if you invest $1,000 at 0.25% interest for 1 year, the interest earned would be $2.50, and the total amount would be $1,002.50.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Savings Account
You deposit $5,000 in a savings account with a 0.25% annual interest rate. How much interest will you earn in one year?
Interest = $5,000 × 0.0025 × 1 year = $12.50
Total Amount = $5,000 + $12.50 = $5,012.50
Example 2: Loan Interest
You borrow $10,000 at a 0.25% daily interest rate. How much interest will you pay after 30 days?
Interest = $10,000 × 0.0025 × 30 days = $75
Total Amount = $10,000 + $75 = $10,075
