Formula Used
The calculator uses the 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
For simple interest, the formula is:
A = P × (1 + rt)
Worked Example
Let's calculate the interest on ₹10,000 at 4% annual interest rate for 5 years with annual compounding:
- Principal (P) = ₹10,000
- Annual interest rate (r) = 4% = 0.04
- Compounding frequency (n) = 1 (annually)
- Time (t) = 5 years
Using the formula:
A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.04/1)^(1×5) = 10,000 × (1.04)^5
A ≈ ₹12,166.52
The total interest earned would be ₹2,166.52.
Interpreting Results
The calculator provides several key results:
- Total Amount: The total value of your savings after interest has been applied.
- Total Interest: The amount of interest earned on your principal.

These results help you understand how your money grows over time and make informed decisions about your savings.
