How the Money Owing Calculator Works
The money owing calculator uses the following formula to determine your total debt:
Formula
Total Amount Owed = Principal Amount + (Principal Amount × Interest Rate × Term)
Where:
- Principal Amount is the initial amount of money you borrowed or owe.
- Interest Rate is the percentage charged on the principal amount.
- Term is the length of time over which you owe the money, expressed in years or months.
The calculator converts the term to years if it's entered in months to ensure consistent calculations.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Personal Loan
You take out a personal loan of $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% for 3 years.
Using the formula:
Calculation
Total Amount Owed = $10,000 + ($10,000 × 0.05 × 3) = $10,000 + $1,500 = $11,500
You will owe a total of $11,500 after 3 years.
Example 2: Credit Card Debt
You have a credit card balance of $5,000 with an annual interest rate of 18% for 2 years.
Using the formula:
Calculation
Total Amount Owed = $5,000 + ($5,000 × 0.18 × 2) = $5,000 + $1,800 = $6,800
You will owe a total of $6,800 after 2 years.
