Formula Used
The calculator uses the simple interest formula to calculate the interest earned on your SBI SB account:
Simple Interest Formula
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Where:
- Principal is the initial deposit amount
- Rate is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- Time is the time period in years
For example, if you deposit ₹10,000 at an annual interest rate of 4% for 2 years, the interest earned would be ₹800, and the total amount would be ₹10,800.
Worked Example
Let's walk through a practical example to demonstrate how the calculator works.
Example Calculation
Suppose you want to calculate the interest on a ₹50,000 deposit in an SBI SB account with an annual interest rate of 3.5% for 3 years.
- Enter ₹50,000 as the principal amount.
- Select 3.5% as the annual interest rate.
- Choose 3 years as the time period.
- Click "Calculate".
The calculator will show:
- Interest Earned: ₹5,250
- Total Amount: ₹55,250
This means you would earn ₹5,250 in interest over 3 years, bringing your total savings to ₹55,250.
