Understanding Simple Interest
Simple interest is a quick and straightforward method of calculating the interest charge on a loan or the return on an investment. Unlike compound interest, where interest is earned on previously accumulated interest, simple interest is only ever calculated on the initial principal amount.
The Simple Interest Formula
Maturity Value = Principal + Interest
For example, if you invest ₹50,000 at a simple interest rate of 7.5% per year for 3 years, you will earn exactly ₹3,750 per year. By the end of the 3 years, your total interest earned will be ₹11,250, resulting in a total maturity value of ₹61,250.
