How simple and compound interest are calculated
simple interest calculation
 Dollar Amount x Interest rate x Length of Time (in years) = Amount Earned
example
 If you had $100 in a savings account that paid 6% simple interest, during the first year you
would earn $6 in interest.
$100 x 0.06 x 1 = $6
 At the end of two years you would have earned $12.
 The account would continue to grow at a rate of $6 per year, despite the accumulated
interest.
compound interest calculation
 Interest is paid on original amount of deposit, plus any interest earned.
(Original $ Amount + Earned Interest) x Interest Rate x Length of Time = Amount Earned
example
 If you had $100 in a savings account that paid 6% interest compounded annually, the first year
you
would earn $6.36 in interest.
$100 x 0.06 x 1 = $6
$100 + $6 = $106
 With compound interest, the second year you would earn $6.36 in interest.
 The calculation the second year would look like this:
$106 x 0.06 x 1 = $6.36
teens – lesson 12 - slide 12-E
$106 + 6.36 = $112.36
