Simple Interest Calculator

Calculate simple interest and total value without compounding from principal, annual rate, and duration in years.

Total value
1,100
Simple interest
100

How the calculation works

Interest I = P × r/100 × t. Total A = P + I, where P is principal, r is the annual rate, and t is years.

Inputs

  • Principal
  • Annual rate, %
  • Duration, years

Calculation details

At 1,000 principal, a 5% rate, and two years, interest is 100 and the total is 1,100. Previously earned interest does not itself earn interest.

Enter 0.5 years for six months. Contracts based on actual days can use different year bases; convert the duration according to your contract.
