Formula Explained
The calculation for your Flexi Saver balance uses the compound interest formula:
Formula
Future Balance = Current Balance × (1 + Monthly Interest Rate) ^ Number of Months
Where:
- Current Balance is your starting amount in your Flexi Saver account.
- Monthly Interest Rate is the annual interest rate divided by 12 (converted to a decimal).
- Number of Months is the period you want to calculate (typically 1 for the following month).
This formula accounts for compound interest, which means your interest is calculated on both your initial deposit and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
Worked Example
Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you have:
- Current Flexi Saver balance: $1,000
- Annual interest rate: 2.5%
- Number of months: 1
First, convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate:
Monthly Interest Rate
2.5% ÷ 12 = 0.2083% or 0.002083 (as a decimal)
Now apply the compound interest formula:
Calculation
$1,000 × (1 + 0.002083) = $1,002.08
After one month, your Flexi Saver balance would be approximately $1,002.08, showing the effect of compound interest.
