Frequently Asked Questions
What is simple interest?▾
Interest calculated only on the original principal — not on accumulated interest. Formula: SI = P × R × T / 100.
How is this different from compound interest?▾
Simple interest charges the same amount each period. Compound interest charges interest on the growing total, so it grows faster over time.
Can I enter time in months?▾
Yes — enter months/12 as a decimal. For 6 months enter 0.5, for 18 months enter 1.5.
