Common input mistake

Use the compound interest calculator when the product reinvests interest or compounds at regular intervals.

Formula and assumptions

Simple Interest = Principal Γ— Annual Rate Γ— Time; Maturity Value = Principal + Simple Interest

Simple interest is calculated on the original principal only, so previously earned interest does not earn more interest.

Keep in mind: Confirm the lender or deposit provider's day-count convention, fees, compounding method and quoted effective rate.
