Simple Interest Calculator

Flat interest on a deposit or loan, with the formula shown step by step.

Maturity amount

Interest earned

Principal

Principal against interest

Simple interest is always worked out on the original sum, never on what the balance has grown to, which is what separates it from compound interest. Days are converted using a 365 day year, and a rate given as a percentage a year is divided by 100 before it goes into the formula.

What Is Simple Interest Calculator?

Simple Interest Calculator works out the flat return or cost on a principal, counting time in years, months, or days against a 365 day year. It shows the interest, the maturity amount, a bar splitting principal from interest, and the A = P(1 + rt) formula written out with your own numbers so you can follow each step. Turning on a monthly deposit treats every payment as its own lump sum, which approximates a future value and reports the extra amount earned.

Who Uses the Simple Interest Calculator?

Students checking coursework, savers comparing a fixed deposit, and borrowers reading a flat-rate agreement use it to confirm what an agreed rate earns or costs.
