What Is Simple Interest?

Simple interest is calculated using the original principal amount, the interest rate and the length of time.

Unlike compound interest, simple interest does not add previously earned interest to the principal when calculating future interest.

Simple Interest Formula

Simple Interest = P × R × T

P represents the principal amount, R represents the annual interest rate as a decimal, and T represents the time in years.

Total Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

For example, if the principal is 10,000, the annual interest rate is 5% and the period is 2 years, the simple interest is 1,000 and the total amount is 11,000.
