How to calculate and understand interest rates?

To calculate and understand interest rates, you need to know the principal amount, the interest rate, and the time period. The formula for simple interest is: Interest Principal x Rate x Time. To calculate compound interest, you can use the formula: A P(1 r/n)(nt), where A is the total amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years. Understanding interest rates involves knowing how they are calculated and how they impact the amount of money you will earn or owe over time.
