Formula Used
The calculation is based on the compound interest formula:
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 unit t
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for
For the interest earned, we use:
Interest Earned Formula
Interest = A - P
This formula helps you understand how your money grows over time with compound interest.
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit ₹10,000 in an Axis Savings Account with an annual interest rate of 4%, compounded monthly, for 2 years.
Using the formula:
Example Calculation
A = 10,000(1 + 0.04/12)^(12×2)
A = 10,000(1 + 0.003333)^24
A ≈ 10,000 × 1.082856
A ≈ ₹10,828.56
Interest Earned = ₹10,828.56 - ₹10,000 = ₹828.56
This means you would earn approximately ₹828.56 in interest over 2 years.
