To calculate the monthly interest from an investment of $50,000 at a 3% annual interest rate, you first divide the annual rate by 12 months. This gives you a monthly interest rate of 0.25% (3% ÷ 12). Multiplying this monthly rate by the principal amount ($50,000) results in a monthly interest of $125.
In simple interest, 50,000 would earn 1,500 in one year.

$73053.88 when compounded month your yearly rate would be 0.061678% * * * * * True, but in real life the quoted interest rate, "6 percent compounded monthly", should read "an interest rate, such that, if it were compounded monthly, would give an annual equivalent rate of 6 percent". The equivalent of 6% annual is 0.487% monthly since 1.0048712 = 1.06
