Formula Used
Recurring Deposit Interest Calculation
The calculator uses the simple interest formula for recurring deposits:
Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100
Where:
- Principal = Total amount of deposits
- Rate = Annual interest rate (varies by Chase deposit type)
- Time = Term length in years
For compound interest scenarios, the calculator uses the compound interest formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = Amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
- P = Principal amount (the initial amount of money)
- r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = Number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = Time the money is invested for, in years
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest for a $500 monthly deposit made for 2 years at 3% annual interest rate, compounded monthly.
- Total deposits = $500 × 24 months = $12,000
- Annual interest rate = 3% = 0.03
- Compounding periods per year = 12
- Term length = 2 years
- Using the compound interest formula: A = 12,000(1 + 0.03/12)^(12×2) = $12,722.77
- Interest earned = $12,722.77 - $12,000 = $722.77
This example shows how regular deposits can grow over time with compound interest.
