Simple Interest vs. Compound Interest Interest earned on the principal investment Earning interest on interest Principal is the original amount of money invested or saved

Simple Interest Equation: Step 1 (Principal) P (Interest Rate) r (Time Period) t (Interest Earned) I 1,000 .07 5 350.00 $1,000 invested at 7% interest rate for 5 years

Simple Interest Equation: Step 2 (Principal) P (Interest Earned) I (Amount Investment is Worth) A $1,000 invested at 7% interest rate for 5 years 1,000 350 $1,350.00

Compound Interest Equations There are two methods for calculating compound interest Single sum of money Money invested only once at the beginning of an investment Equal number of investments spread over time Equal amounts of money are invested multiple times (once a month, once a year, etc.)

Compound Interest Equation – Single Sum P (1 + r)n = A Amount Investment is Worth Principal (1 + Interest Rate)Time Periods = $1,000 invested at 7% interest rate compounded yearly for 5 years 1,000 (1+ .07)5 = $1403.00

Compound Interest Equation - Multiple Investments in Equal Amounts PMT x (1+r)n-1 = A r Payment x (1+Interest Rate)Time Period-1 = Amount Investment is Worth Interest Rate $1,000 invested every year at 7% annual interest rate for 5 years 1,000 x (1+.07)5-1 = $5,757.00 .07
