How it works

Simple interest equals principal × annual rate × years. It is calculated only on the original principal, so interest does not itself earn interest.

Worked example

$10,000 at 5% simple interest for three years earns $1,500, bringing the total to $11,500.

Keep in mind

Check whether an agreement uses a different day-count convention or adds fees.
