Formula Used
The calculation uses the simple interest formula:
Simple Interest Formula
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Final Amount = Principal + Interest
Where:
- Principal is the initial deposit amount
- Rate is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- Time is the term length in years
Note
This calculator uses simple interest, which is common for savings accounts. Some accounts may offer compound interest, which would require a different calculation.
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $5,000 in a Citi savings account with a 1.25% annual interest rate for 3 years.
- Principal = $5,000
- Rate = 1.25% = 0.0125
- Time = 3 years
Using the formula:
Calculation
Interest = $5,000 × 0.0125 × 3 = $187.50
Final Amount = $5,000 + $187.50 = $5,187.50
After 3 years, you would have earned $187.50 in interest and your account balance would be $5,187.50.
