Formula Used

The current account balance is calculated using the following formula:

Final Balance = Initial Balance + Deposits - Withdrawals + (Initial Balance * Interest Rate * Time Period)

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 Rate - Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
  • Time Period - The time period for the interest calculation (days, weeks, months, or years)

Note: This calculator assumes simple interest. For more complex interest calculations, consult a financial advisor.

Worked Example

Let's say you have an initial balance of $1,000, make $200 in deposits, withdraw $100, and earn 2% annual interest. You want to calculate the balance after 6 months.

Example Calculation

Initial Balance = $1,000

Deposits = $200

Withdrawals = $100

Interest Rate = 2% (0.02)

Time Period = 6 months (0.5 years)

Final Balance = $1,000 + $200 - $100 + ($1,000 * 0.02 * 0.5) = $1,190

Your final balance after 6 months would be $1,190.
