How the Calculator Works

Note: This calculator provides an estimate. Actual earnings may vary based on account terms, fees, and other factors.
Key Features

- Compare different interest rates
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your principal amount (the initial deposit)
- Select the interest rate (as a percentage)
- Choose the time period and compounding frequency
- Click "Calculate" to see your results
Formula Used
The calculator uses the simple interest formula:
Simple Interest Formula:
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Where:
- Principal (P) - The initial amount of money
- Rate (R) - The annual interest rate (as a decimal)
- Time (T) - The time the money is invested for (in years)
For compound interest, the formula is:
Compound Interest Formula:
A = P × (1 + R/n)^(n×t)
Where:
- A = the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
- P = the principal amount (the initial amount of money)
- R = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested for, in years
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest for a ₹10,000 deposit at 4% annual interest for 3 years.
Simple Interest Calculation:
Interest = ₹10,000 × 0.04 × 3 = ₹1,200
Total Amount = ₹10,000 + ₹1,200 = ₹11,200
If the interest were compounded annually:
Compound Interest Calculation:
A = ₹10,000 × (1 + 0.04)^3 = ₹10,000 × 1.12544 = ₹11,254.40
Notice the difference between simple and compound interest over time.
Different Types of Interest
There are two main types of interest calculations:
Simple Interest
Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal amount. It doesn't accumulate over time.
Compound Interest
Compound interest is calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. This means your money grows faster over time.
Bank of India typically offers compound interest on savings accounts, which means your interest earns interest.
