SIMPLE AND COMPOUND INTEREST
Interest is the additional money paid for the
usage of a certain amount.
★ The amount borrowed is called the principal.
★ The sum of interest and principal is called
the amount.
Simple Interest
If the interest is calculated on same amount
of money it is called the simple interest (S.I.).
Simple Interest will be the same for all the years.
If P is the principal, R is the rate of interest,
T is time and S.I. the simple interest, then

Simple Interest = ⎯

Amount = P 1+ ⎯

Note: Simple interest is always calculated on
principal. Therefore simple interest is
