5% of $100 is $5 .
If you lend your money for 3 years at 5% simple interest,
it will earn you $5 each year, for a grand total of $15, and
grow to a full $115 .
Don't go wild and spend all of that ROI in one place.
I = P x r x t/100 where I = Simple Interest P= principal r= rate t=time The formula is I=PRT P=principal,the money deposited or taken out. R=rate,the percent intrest T=time,the time elapsed or the daily basis
It depends on whether it is simple or compound interest. The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt), where A = amount of money after t years, P = Principal, or the amount of money you started with, and r = the annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal (i.e. 7% = 0.07). For compound interest, the formula is A = P(1+r)t.

Two and a half percent of 750 ie 2.5 x 7.5 which is 18.75
Compound interest increases the amount earned by adding credited interest to the principal, and interest will then be earned on that money as well. The longer the principal and interest remain in the account, the greater the earnings they will accrue.

Principal is the amount you borrowed and interest is the money you give them as a 'gift' for letting you loan their money.
The loan is called the principal. People pay interest to borrow money, but payment is interest plus money toward the principal.
It depends on whether it is simple or compound interest. The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt), where A = amount of money after t years, P = Principal, or the amount of money you started with, and r = the annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal (i.e. 7% = 0.07). For compound interest, the formula is A = P(1+r)t.
The amount of money earned on a principal called is interest
Principal is the amount of money you borrow. Interest is the fee charged by the lender (or bank) to use their money. The total amount of money you pay back is the principle + interest.

if its simple interest: I = prt = 240 the total money to be returned is 2240
P*(1+R/100)powerT where P= money borrowed or principal and R= rate in percent and T= time * * * * * Actually, this formula gives the value of the principal PLUS interest. You need to subtract P from the answer to get the compounded interest.
Multiply the principal (P) by the annual* interest rate as a decimal (r) and the time in years* (t). *The time period may be expressed in months, etc. For example, $2000 invested at 7% simple interest for 5 years: I = Prt = 2000x0.07x5 = 140x5 = $700.
