interest is calculated annually on a loan's principal or original amount. So, for example, after four years, a loan or investment of $30,000 with a 2.25 percent annual percentage rate (APR) would accrue $2,700 in interest. The interest rate can be fixed, depending on the company and product. ",[784],{"type":129,"attrs":785},{"color":12},{"type":764,"attrs":787,"content":788},{"level":766},[789,795],{"text":790,"type":22,"marks":791},"How does simple interest work?",[792,793],{"type":38},{"type":129,"attrs":794},{"color":12},{"text":775,"type":22,"marks":796},[797],{"type":129,"attrs":798},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":800},[801],{"text":802,"type":22,"marks":803},"To understand how simple interest works and is calculated, we need to take a look at the basic formula: ",[804],{"type":129,"attrs":805},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":807},[808,814],{"text":809,"type":22,"marks":810},"l = Prt",[811,812],{"type":38},{"type":129,"attrs":813},{"color":12},{"text":775,"type":22,"marks":815},[816],{"type":129,"attrs":817},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":819},[820],{"text":821,"type":22,"marks":822},"Here’s what the elements of the formula represent: ",[823],{"type":129,"attrs":824},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":826},[827],{"text":828,"type":22,"marks":829},"I = interest accumulated ",[830],{"type":129,"attrs":831},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":833},[834],{"text":835,"type":22,"marks":836},"P = initial principal balance ",[837],{"type":129,"attrs":838},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":840},[841],{"text":842,"type":22,"marks":843},"r = interest rate ",[844],{"type":129,"attrs":845},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":847},[848],{"text":849,"type":22,"marks":850},"t = number of elapsed time periods in years ",[851],{"type":129,"attrs":852},{"color":12},{"type":18,"content":854},[855],{"text":856,"type":22,"marks":857},"So, to calculate how much you’ll pay in interest, you multiply the principal of $30,000 by the interest rate – expressed as 0.0225 (2.25 percent in decimal form) – and the number of years elapsed.
