Formula Used

The calculator uses the simple interest formula to calculate your future balance:

Simple Interest Formula

Future Balance = Initial Deposit + (Initial Deposit × Interest Rate × Time)

Where:

Initial Deposit is the amount of money you start with
Interest Rate is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal)
Time is the number of years your money will be invested

This formula assumes you're using simple interest, which is common for savings accounts. For more complex interest calculations, you may need to use a different formula.

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit ₱10,000 in a BDO savings account with an annual interest rate of 5%. Here's how the calculation works:

Example Calculation

Future Balance = ₱10,000 + (₱10,000 × 0.05 × 1) = ₱10,000 + ₱500 = ₱10,500

After one year, you would have ₱10,500 in your account, earning ₱500 in interest.
