How this was calculated
  1. Formula: I = P × r × n (n in years)
  2. n = 36 months ÷ 12 = 3 years
  3. I = ৳1,00,000 × 10/100 × 3 = ৳30,000
  4. Amount A = P + I = ৳1,00,000 + ৳30,000 = ৳1,30,000

Examples

Principal Rate Time Interest Total
৳1,00,000 10% 3 years ৳30,000 ৳1,30,000
৳50,000 12% 6 months ৳3,000 ৳53,000

Rearranging the formula

Rate r = I ÷ (P × n); time n = I ÷ (P × r); principal P = I ÷ (r × n). For example ৳8,000 interest on ৳20,000 over 4 years means r = 10%.

Frequently asked questions

What is simple interest?

Interest charged only on the original principal, never on earlier interest, so the yearly interest stays the same.

What is the formula?

I = P × r × n, with r as a decimal (10% = 0.10) and n in years. Total amount A = P + I.

How do I calculate it for months or days?

Convert time to years: months ÷ 12 or days ÷ 365. ৳50,000 at 12% for 6 months = 50,000 × 0.12 × 6/12 = ৳3,000.

Simple vs compound interest?

Compound interest adds each period's interest to the principal. ৳1 lakh at 10% for 5 years: ৳50,000 simple vs ৳61,051 compound.
