Types of Interest Calculations

There are two main ways interest can be calculated:

1. Simple Interest

Simple Interest is calculated only on the original amount (principal). It doesn’t include previously earned interest.

Formula:

 
Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

Example:
If you borrow ₹10,000 at 10% annual interest for 2 years:

 
Interest = (10,000 × 10 × 2) / 100 = ₹2,000

You’ll pay ₹2,000 as interest in 2 years.


2. Compound Interest

Compound Interest is calculated on both the principal and the accumulated interest. This means interest keeps growing on top of interest, leading to higher returns (or higher repayments).

Formula:

 
Compound Interest = Principal × (1 + Rate/100)^Time – Principal

Example:
If you invest ₹10,000 at 10% annual interest for 2 years (compounded yearly):

 
Amount = 10,000 × (1 + 10/100)^2 = ₹12,100 Compound Interest =12,100 – ₹10,000 = ₹2,100
