💡 Simple Interest Formula

SI = P × R × T / 100
Where:
P = Principal
R = Annual Rate (%)
T = Time in Years

💡 Compound Interest Formula

A = P × (1 + R/(n×100))^(n×T)
Where:
n = Compounding Frequency
(Yearly=1, Monthly=12)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

➕ What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any previously earned interest.

➕ How accurate is the day count calculation?

The tool uses JavaScript's Date() object to calculate exact days between two dates, ensuring high accuracy even for leap years.

➕ What is the difference between Actual/365 and 30/360 day count conventions?

Actual/365 uses the actual number of days in a year (365 or 366 for leap years), while 30/360 assumes 30 days per month and 360 days per year.

Yes, you can calculate interest for days, months, or quarters using the flexible time unit options.
