Amount : The total money which the borrower pays back to the lender at the end of the specified period is called the amount.
Time : Time in years of the loan.
The simple-interest formula is often abbreviated in this form:
If the time is given in month then divide the given formula by 12.
Interest = ( P x R x T ) / 12
If the time is given in days then divide the given formula by 365.
Interest = ( P x R x T ) / 365
Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (S.I) |
