Simple interest is a method used to calculate the amount of interest earned on savings or paid on loans. It is based on the principal amount, interest rate, and time period.
Definition: Simple interest is calculated on a yearly basis and depends on the interest rate, which is often given per annum .
When you deposit money into a bank or building society, you earn interest on your savings. Conversely, if you borrow money for a mortgage or other loan, you have to pay interest to the lender.
Example: Sally deposits £600 into an account with an interest rate of 5% per annum. To calculate the interest she receives in one year:
Therefore, Sally earns £30 in interest after one year.
To find out how much money Sally has in her account after one year:
Highlight: After one year, Sally will have £630 in her account.
The document also provides a practice question to reinforce the concept:
Example: Jamie's bank account pays interest at a rate of 4.3% per year. If he puts £850 into his account, how much will Jamie have after a year?
To solve this problem, you would:
Vocabulary:
- Principal: The original amount of money deposited or borrowed.
- Interest Rate: The percentage charged or earned on the principal amount.
- Per Annum: Latin for "per year," often used in financial contexts.
Understanding simple interest is crucial for managing personal finances effectively. It allows you to calculate potential earnings on savings or costs on loans accurately. This knowledge can help you make informed decisions about where to save your money or how to manage your debts.
Highlight: For those looking to maximize their savings, using a simple interest calculator or compound interest calculator can help compare different savings options. Many online tools, such as a simple interest calculator monthly or a bank interest calculator, can assist in these calculations.
Remember that while simple interest is straightforward to calculate, many financial products use compound interest, which can result in higher returns on savings or higher costs on loans over time. Always check whether an account or loan uses simple or compound interest when making financial decisions.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
