Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
For simple interest, the formula is:
A = P(1 + rt)
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest for a ₹50,000 deposit at 4% annual interest rate compounded monthly for 5 years.
Principal (P) = ₹50,000
Annual Interest Rate (r) = 4% or 0.04
Compounding Frequency (n) = 12 (monthly)
Time (t) = 5 years
Using the compound interest formula:
A = 50,000(1 + 0.04/12)12×5
A = 50,000(1.0033)60
A ≈ 50,000 × 1.2208
A ≈ ₹61,040
Total interest earned = ₹61,040 - ₹50,000 = ₹11,040
Understanding Interest Types
Andhra Bank savings accounts typically offer compound interest, which means interest is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest of previous periods. This is different from simple interest, which is calculated only on the original principal.
Compounding frequency affects how often interest is calculated and added to the principal. Monthly compounding is common for savings accounts, but some accounts may offer daily or annual compounding.
