Calculate the future value and interest earned for an investment or loan using simple interest or compound interest. This calculator helps you determine how your money will grow over time based on different interest rates and compounding frequencies.
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount and does not take into account the accumulated interest over time. It's commonly used for short-term loans or investments.
The formula for simple interest is:
$$I = P \times r \times t$$
Where:
Compound interest is calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. It's often used for long-term investments and savings accounts.
The formula for compound interest is:
$$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$$
Where:
