Interest Calculation Methods
The interest on a savings account is typically calculated using the compound interest formula:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = Maturity Amount
- P = Principal Amount
- r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal)
- n = Compounding Frequency per year
- t = Time in years
The total interest earned is calculated as:
Interest = A - P
The calculator uses this formula to compute the maturity amount and interest earned based on your inputs.
Example Calculation
Let's consider an example to understand how the calculator works.
Example Scenario
Principal Amount: $10,000
Annual Interest Rate: 4%
Tenure: 5 years
Compounding Frequency: Annually
Maturity Amount: $12,166.58
Total Interest Earned: $2,166.58
In this example, depositing $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 4% for 5 years with annual compounding results in a maturity amount of $12,166.58, with $2,166.58 earned in interest.
