Formula Used

The Hawaii USA FCU Calculator uses the following formulas for different financial calculations:

Savings Account Calculation

Future Value = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
t = Time the money is invested for (in years)

Loan Payment Calculation

Monthly Payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)

These formulas are based on standard financial calculations and provide estimates. Actual results may vary based on specific account terms and conditions.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the future value of a $5,000 savings account with a 2.5% annual interest rate compounded monthly over 5 years.

Example Calculation

Using the formula: Future Value = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

P = $5,000
r = 0.025 (2.5% annual rate)
n = 12 (monthly compounding)
t = 5 (years)

Calculation:

Future Value = 5000 × (1 + 0.025/12)^(12×5)

= 5000 × (1.002083)^60

= 5000 × 1.1326

= $5,663.00

After 5 years, you would have approximately $5,663 in your savings account, earning about $663 in interest.
