Simple Interest
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount of an investment.

- I = amount of interest, P = principal amount, r = annual interest rate, t = time in years.
Compound Interest

The following formula can be used to find out the compound interest:
- A = P×(1 + r/n)nt
- Where,
- A = final amount including interest, P = principal amount, r = annual interest rate (as decimal), n = number of compounds per year, t = number of years.
