Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to calculate interest:

Simple Interest: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time Total Amount = Principal + Interest

Compound Interest: Total Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate)^Time Interest = Total Amount - Principal

Where:

Principal is the initial deposit amount
Rate is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
Time is the number of years the money is invested

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit ₹10,000 in an IDFC First Bank savings account with a 4% annual interest rate for 5 years.

Simple Interest Calculation

Using the simple interest formula:

Interest = ₹10,000 × 0.04 × 5 = ₹2,000 Total Amount = ₹10,000 + ₹2,000 = ₹12,000

Compound Interest Calculation

Using the compound interest formula:

Total Amount = ₹10,000 × (1 + 0.04)^5 ≈ ₹12,166.50 Interest = ₹12,166.50 - ₹10,000 = ₹2,166.50

As you can see, compound interest results in a slightly higher total amount over the same period.
