FAQ

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions regarding linear interest rates, time models, and calculations.

What is the simple interest formula?
Simple interest is calculated using the formula: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time (I = PRT). The rate is entered as a decimal (e.g., 5% is 0.05), and time is measured in years.
What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest?
Simple interest is calculated only on the initial principal amount. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any accumulated interest from previous periods, meaning interest earns interest.
How do you calculate interest for a fraction of a year?
If the term is in months, divide the number of months by 12. If in days, divide the number of days by 365 (standard year) or 360 (often used in commercial banking calculations).
When is simple interest typically used?
Simple interest is commonly used for short-term personal loans, car loans, certificates of deposit (CDs), and basic interest-bearing savings accounts.
