How Interest is Calculated
SBI savings accounts typically offer interest calculated using the compound interest formula:
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 unit t
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
For example, if you deposit ₹10,000 at 4% annual interest compounded monthly for 5 years:
Example Calculation
A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.04/12)^(12×5) ≈ ₹12,202.36
Total interest earned: ₹2,202.36
