At 6% simple interest, $10,000.00 earns $600.00 a year, so $1,800.00 over the term. Compounding yearly at the same rate would give $110.16 more.
| Period | Interest in period | Interest so far | Solde |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $600.00 | $600.00 | $10,600.00 |
| Year 2 | $600.00 | $1,200.00 | $11,200.00 |
| Year 3 | $600.00 | $1,800.00 | $11,800.00 |

Simple interest is paid only on the original principal: I = P × r × t, where r is the yearly rate as a decimal and t the time in years. A term in months is divided by 12, and a term in days by 365 (actual/365) or by 360, the banker's year some lenders and money markets use. The amount due at maturity is A = P(1 + rt).
With the defaults, 10,000 at 6% for 3 years earns 600 a year and 1,800 in total, for a maturity amount of 11,800. Compounded yearly at the same rate, the same deposit would reach 11,910.16, which is 110.16 more.
Interest here never earns interest of its own. Savings accounts and most deposits compound, so use the compound interest calculator for them; simple interest suits short loans, flat-rate quotes and interest accrued between coupon dates.

Multiply the principal by the yearly rate and by the time in years: I = P × r × t. 10,000 at 6% for 3 years earns 10,000 × 0.06 × 3 = 1,800, so 11,800 is repaid. For a term in months, divide by 12 first: 5,000 at 8% for 9 months earns 5,000 × 0.08 × 9/12 = 300.
Divide the days by the day-count basis before multiplying. 20,000 at 7.5% for 90 days earns 20,000 × 0.075 × 90/365 = 369.86 on an actual/365 basis, and 375.00 on a 360-day banker's year. Excel's ACCRINTM function uses basis 3 for actual/365 and basis 2 for actual/360.
Rearrange I = P × r × t. The rate is r = I ÷ (P × t): earning 1,800 on 10,000 over 3 years means 1,800 ÷ 30,000 = 6% a year. The time is t = I ÷ (P × r): earning 3,000 on 10,000 at 6% takes 3,000 ÷ 600 = 5 years.
For a borrower, yes; for a saver, no. Simple interest grows in a straight line, while compound interest also earns interest on interest. On 10,000 at 6%, the gap is only 110.16 after 3 years (1,800 against 1,910.16), but after 20 years simple interest totals 12,000 while yearly compounding adds 22,071.35.
La précision dépend de vos données et des hypothèses de la méthode. Le calcul décimal utilise 50 chiffres significatifs, mais les estimations, méthodes numériques et données sources peuvent être moins précises ; l’arrondi affiché ne supprime pas ces limites. Exemples résolus vérifiés à partir de sources indépendantes : 5. Par exemple, « 10,000 at 6% for 3 years » est vérifié à l’aide de 10000 × 0.06 × 3 by hand; 10000 × 1.06³ = 11910.16 (Python decimal).
