Simple Interest

Cards (50)

  • Simple interest is the amount charged on top of the principal when borrowing money or earning it from an investment.
  • The formula to calculate simple interest is SI = P x r x t, where SI represents the total amount paid as interest, P represents the principal (the original sum), r represents the annual rate of interest expressed as a decimal, and t represents time in years.
  • Compound interest is calculated by adding the initial principal plus accumulated interest at regular intervals over a specified period of time.
  • The formula to calculate simple interest is SI = P x r x t, where SI stands for simple interest, P represents the principal (the original sum of money), r denotes the annual rate of interest expressed as a decimal, and t refers to time in years.
  • To find compound interest, use the formula A = P(1 + rt)^n, where A is the total amount owed/earned, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate per year, t is the number of times interest is compounded annually, and n is the number of years invested.
  • To find compound interest, use the formula A = P(1 + rt)^n, where A represents the final value, P represents the principal, r represents the annual rate of interest expressed as a decimal, t represents the number of times per year that interest is compounded, and n represents the number of years.
  • Principal refers to the original amount invested or loaned.
  • Principal refers to the original sum of money invested or borrowed.
  • To find compound interest, use the formula A = P(1 + rt)^n, where A represents the final value, P represents the principal, r represents the annual interest rate per year, t represents the number of times interest is compounded annually, and n represents the number of years.
  • Rate - The percentage per year that the lender charges for using their money
  • Principal - The original sum of money invested
  • Interest is the additional amount that must be repaid beyond the principal due to the passage of time.
  • Principal - The original sum of money that is lent out or invested
  • Time - How long the loan has been outstanding
  • Annual Rate of Interest - The percentage of interest earned or charged per year
  • Time Period - The length of time during which the loan or investment takes place
  • Rate - Annual interest rate expressed as a decimal
  • Principal - The original sum of money
  • Annual Rate of Interest is the percentage charged on an investment or loan per year.
  • Time - Number of years invested
  • Time Period is measured in years.
  • Number of Times Compounded Per Year indicates how often interest is earned during the year.
  • Interest is the additional amount paid on top of the principal due to the passage of time.
  • Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the principal with an exponent equal to the product of the annual interest rate and the number of times it's compounded per year raised to the power of the number of years invested.
  • Annual percentage yield (APY) takes into account the effect of compounding and provides an accurate representation of how much interest will be earned over a given period of time.
  • Simple interest is calculated based only on the principal amount and does not take into account any effects from compounding.
  • Simple interest is calculated using the formula SI = Prt, where SI represents the simple interest earned, P represents the principal, r represents the annual interest rate, and t represents the length of time the investment has been held.
  • Interest is the payment made on top of the principal when borrowing money from someone else.
  • Compounding Period - How often interest is calculated on your account (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually)
  • Time - How long the investment has been held (in years)
  • Term - The length of time you have agreed to keep your funds at the bank
  • Compounding Period - How often interest is calculated (e.g., monthly)
  • The formula for calculating simple interest is SI = Prt, where SI stands for simple interest, P stands for principal, r stands for rate, and t stands for time.
  • Compound interest is calculated by adding interest earned from one period to the principal at the beginning of the next period.
  • The formula for calculating simple interest is SI = Prt, where SI stands for simple interest, P stands for principal, r stands for annual interest rate, and t stands for time period.
  • Compounding Period - How often interest is paid on an account (per annum)
  • Compounding Frequency - How often interest is compounded (calculated) on an account
  • Annual Percentage Rate (APR) - The total cost of credit expressed as an annual percentage
  • Simple Interest - Where only the initial investment earns interest
  • Simple interest is calculated based on the principle of charging interest only on the principal amount.
