Worked Examples
Here are some examples of how to use this calculator:
Example 1: Simple Interest Calculation
If you invest $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% for 3 years, the simple interest earned would be:
Simple Interest = $1,000 × 0.05 × 3 = $150
Total Amount = $1,000 + $150 = $1,150
Example 2: Compound Interest Calculation
If you invest $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% for 3 years, the compound interest earned would be:
Compound Interest = $1,000 × (1 + 0.05)^3 - $1,000 ≈ $157.63
Total Amount ≈ $1,157.63
Example 3: Tax Calculation
If your gross income is $50,000 and the tax rate is 20%, the tax amount would be:
Tax Amount = $50,000 × 0.20 = $10,000
Net Income = $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000
Example 4: Currency Conversion
If you have $100 Canadian dollars and the exchange rate to US dollars is 0.75, the converted amount would be:
Converted Amount = $100 × 0.75 = $75
