Keep the formula transparent

Simple interest grows linearly because prior interest is not added back to the principal.

How it works

Get a clear answer without a spreadsheet

Calculate interest that is based only on the original principal rather than interest-on-interest compounding.

Enter the values you already know and Utilivo calculates the key result instantly. The calculation runs in your browser so you can compare scenarios without submitting the numbers to us.

Formula

How the result is calculated

Simple interest = principal × annual rate × time. Final balance = principal + simple interest.

Example

A quick real-world example

$10,000 at 5% simple interest for 3 years produces $1,500 interest and a $11,500 final balance.
