Simple Interest = ( Principal amount * Rate of Interest )* Time

Compound Interest = FV = PV * (1+r)n

  • FV is future value (the total at the end of the period, for which you are solving)
  • PV is the present value (the amount deposited today)
  • r is the interest rate
  • n is the number of periods for which r is compounded

(A)Simple interest= PNR/100,where  P=Principal,

n=number of years

r=rate of interest .

(B) Compound Interest= {P(1+ r/100) to the power n}-P

having the expansion as above.

In Cmpound interest, interest is computed for interest also.
