Simple interest formula

Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal — it does not compound. The formula is:

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Time is expressed in years, so a period given in months or days is converted first (months ÷ 12, days ÷ 365). Simple interest is common for short-term loans and some bonds.
