Formula Used

Current Account Balance Formula

The current account balance is calculated using the following formula:

Current Balance = Initial Balance + Deposits - Withdrawals + Interest

Where:

Initial Balance - The starting amount in your account
Deposits - Total amount added to your account
Withdrawals - Total amount taken out of your account
Interest - Interest earned (positive) or paid (negative)

This formula provides a simple way to track your account balance by accounting for all transactions and interest.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Scenario: You have an initial balance of $1,000. You deposit $500 and withdraw $200. Your account earns $10 in interest.

Calculation:

Current Balance = $1,000 (Initial Balance) + $500 (Deposits) - $200 (Withdrawals) + $10 (Interest)

Current Balance = $1,000 + $500 - $200 + $10 = $1,310

Using the calculator, you would enter these values and see the current balance of $1,310.

Note

The calculator assumes all amounts are in the same currency. For international transactions, convert all amounts to your local currency first.
