Simple Interest Formula

Simple Interest Formula

Future value is calculated by the following simple formula
Future value = P ( 1+ Rn)
R= rate of interest
N = number of period
P = Present value

Simple Interest Formula Example

Bank is offering a simple rate of interest 12% (p.a) . Mr. A wants to deposit $ 25,000 today. How much amount Mr. A will received in 4 years?

= $ 25,000 (1+ .12x4)
=$ 25,000 x 1.48
=37,000


In simple interest the interest in not re invested therefore the interest amount remains same for each year.
