What is Simple Interest?

Simple Interest (SI) is the interest calculated only on the original principal amount throughout the investment or loan period. Unlike compound interest, the interest earned is not added back to the principal for future calculations.

It is widely used for personal loans, vehicle loans, educational loans, and short-term investments where interest is calculated at a fixed rate over a specified period.

Simple Interest Formula

SI = (P × R × T) / 100

Total Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

P = Principal Amount
R = Annual Interest Rate (%)
T = Time Period (Years)
