Formula and Assumptions
The calculator uses standard financial formulas appropriate for Australian financial calculations. The exact formula depends on the type of calculation you perform, but generally follows these principles:
Compound Interest Formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
Key assumptions:
- All calculations are based on Australian financial standards
- Interest rates are annual percentages unless specified otherwise
- Compounding periods are quarterly unless specified otherwise
- Inflation is not factored into calculations unless explicitly entered
Worked Examples
Example 1: Savings Growth
If you deposit $5,000 into a savings account with an annual interest rate of 3% compounded quarterly, how much will you have in 5 years?
Using the compound interest formula:
A = 5000(1 + 0.03/4)^(4×5) = 5000(1.0075)^20 ≈ $6,349.82
After 5 years, your savings will grow to approximately $6,349.82.
Example 2: Loan Repayment
If you take out a $20,000 loan at 5% annual interest compounded monthly, how much will you owe after 3 years?
Using the compound interest formula:
A = 20000(1 + 0.05/12)^(12×3) ≈ $23,125.45
After 3 years, your loan balance will be approximately $23,125.45.
