Calculation method used. Calculation formula. Used notations
[1] Calculation method used: 30 / 360
Number of days in a month = 30
Number of days in a year = 360
[2] Simple interest, I
Calculation formula:
I =
(P × r × t) ÷ 360
I = Simple interest amount
360 = Number of days in a year
P = Principal (initial amount)
P = 10.20 units (Dollar, Euro, Pound, etc.)
r = Annual simple interest rate, r = 0.70%
t = Duration of the investment, in days
t = 1 year and 6 months
t =
+ 1 year × 360 days / year
+ 6 months × 30 days / month
t = 540 days
Calculate the simple interest amount
[3] Substitute for the values
in the Simple Interest formula:
I =
(P × r × t) ÷ 360 =
(10.20 × 0.70% × 540) ÷ 360 =
10.20 × 0.70 ÷ 100 × 540 ÷ 360 =
(10.20 × 0.70 × 540) ÷ (360 × 100) =
3,855.6 ÷ 36,000 =
0.1071 ≈
0.11
[4] V = Amount earned before deducting the
Withdrawal Fee Amount:
V = P + I =
10.20 + 0.11 =
10.31
Withdrawal Fee Amount, Fw. Financial gain, Pr
[6] The amount charged for withdrawing the money
Fw = Fw% × V
Fw, Withdrawal Fee Amount
Fw%, Commission Fee % (on withdrawal), as a percentage
V, Amount earned, V = P + I
Fw =
Fw% × V =
2% × 10.31 =
2/100 × 10.31 =
(2 × 10.31)/100 =
20.62/100 =
20.62 ÷ 100 =
0.2062 ≈
0.21
[7] Financial gain, Pr:
Pr = I - Fw
Pr, financial gain
I, simple interest amount
Fw, Withdrawal Fee Amount
Pr =
I - Fw =
0.11 - 0.21 =
- 0.10
