The Simple Interest Calculator helps you determine the interest earned or paid on a principal sum at a fixed annual rate over a specific period. It's a fundamental concept in finance, often used for short-term loans and investments.

💰 How It Works

To calculate simple interest, you need to provide:

• Principal Amount (P): The initial sum of money invested or borrowed.
• Annual Interest Rate (R%): The yearly percentage rate at which interest is calculated.
• Time Period (T in Years): The duration for which the money is borrowed or invested, in years.

The calculator uses the standard formula for simple interest:

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

And the total amount payable or receivable is:

Total Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

📊 Key Outputs

• Simple Interest Earned/Payable: The total interest amount calculated over the period.
• Total Amount: The sum of the principal amount and the simple interest.

💡 Common Use Cases

• Savings Accounts: Estimating interest on basic savings.
• Fixed Deposits: Calculating returns on fixed-term investments where interest isn't compounded.
• Short-term Loans: Determining interest on personal loans or advances.
• Educational Purposes: Understanding the basics of interest calculations.
• Comparing Investments: A quick way to compare potential returns from different simple interest-bearing options.
