Simple Interest Formula

Simple Interest Formula

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

P = Principal  |  R = Rate (per year)  |  T = Time (years)

Example:
P = ₹10,000  |  R = 10%  |  T = 2 years
SI = ₹2,000  →  Total Amount = ₹12,000
Compound Interest Formula

Compound Interest Formula

CI = P × (1 + R/100)^T − P

Principal (P)₹10,000
Rate (R)10%
Time (T)2 years
CI≈ ₹2,100
Total Amount≈ ₹12,100
