Interest Calculator — Compare Simple vs. Compound Growth Frequencies
The Interest Calculator provides a flexible comparative engine that allows users to toggle seamlessly between simple interest and compound interest (monthly compounding). It computes the total interest accumulated, the final balance, and the Effective Annual Rate (EAR / APY) to reveal how frequency influences financial return.
Compare the Impact of Compounding over 5 Years: Investing ₹5,00,000 at 8% annual return: • Simple Interest yields: ₹5,00,000 + ₹2,00,000 = ₹7,00,000 (₹2,00,000 gain). • Monthly Compound Interest yields: ₹5,00,000 × (1 + 0.08/12)⁶⁰ = ₹7,44,923 (₹2,44,923 gain). • Compounding advantage: ₹44,923 extra return with zero additional capital invested.
