How Savings Interest Works
Savings interest is calculated based on your account balance and the interest rate offered by Union Bank. The two main types of interest calculation are:
- Simple Interest: Calculated only on the original principal amount
- Compound Interest: Calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods
Union Bank typically offers compound interest on savings accounts, which means your interest earnings earn interest themselves over time, leading to faster growth of your money.
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
The calculator uses this formula to project your savings growth. The more frequently interest is compounded, the faster your money will grow.
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $5,000 into a Union Bank savings account with a 2% annual interest rate, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
- Principal (P) = $5,000
- Annual interest rate (r) = 2% or 0.02
- Compounding frequency (n) = 12 (monthly)
- Time (t) = 5 years
Using the compound interest formula:
A = 5000(1 + 0.02/12)^(12×5) = 5000(1.00167)^60 ≈ $5,324.25
After 5 years, you would have approximately $5,324.25 in your account, earning $324.25 in interest.
