Calculate the Due Simple Interest Earned by a Principal of 450.00 (Dollar, Euro, Pound). Annual Interest Rate: 3.00%. Duration Period: 5 years, 2 months and 28 days. Transaction Fee Rate: 3.00%

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. Calculation formula:

I = (P × r × t) ÷ 360


[3] Simple interest. Used notations:

  • I = Simple interest amount - To be calculated.
    Amount accrued as simple interest on the amount lent, deposited or borrowed.

  • 360 = Number of days in a year
  • P = Principal - initial starting amount lent, deposited or borrowed
    P = 450.00 units (Dollar, Euro, Pound)
  • r = Annual simple interest rate
    r = 3.00%

  • t = Duration period of the investment, in days
    t = 5 years, 2 months and 28 days
  • t = 5 years × 360 days / year + 2 months × 30 days / month + 28 days

    t = 1,888 days

Calculate the simple interest amount

[4] Substitute for the values
in the Simple Interest formula:

I =


(P × r × t) ÷ 360 =


(450.00 × 3.00% × 1,888) ÷ 360 =


450.00 × 3.00 ÷ 100 × 1,888 ÷ 360 =


(450.00 × 3.00 × 1,888) ÷ (360 × 100) =


2,548,800.00 ÷ 36,000 =


70.80


The Future Value and Project Breakdown

[5] The Future Value (accumulated value) of the investment:

  • F = The Future Value of the investment is calculated by adding the calculated simple interest amount to the principal.
  • The Future Value of the investment is also called the accumulated value of the investment.

F = P + I =


450.00 + 70.80 =


520.80


[6] Project Breakdown. Monthly

The simple interest is evenly distributed along the months that make up the project

Transaction Fee Amount. Financial Gain (net profit)

[7] Amount charged as a Transaction Fee

  • Fee = Transaction Fee Amount is calculated as a percentage of the Future Value.
  • This percentage is called Fee Rate = Fee%.

Fee = Fee% × F


Fee =


Fee% × F =


3% × 520.80 =


3/100 × 520.80 =


(3 × 520.80)/100 =


1,562.4/100 =


1,562.4 ÷ 100 =


15.624 ≈


15.62


[8] Financial Gain (net profit):

  • Pr = Financial Gain (the net profit) is calculated as the difference between Simple Interest Amount, I, and Transaction Fee Amount, Fee.

Pr = I - Fee


Pr =


I - Fee =


70.80 - 15.62 =


55.18


Calculate the net amount left after deducting the Transaction Fee Amount

[9] Net Amount. Only in the case of a (bank) deposit

  • N = The Net Value is calculated by subtracting the Fee Amount from the Future Value.

N = F - Fee


N =


F - Fee =


520.80 - 15.62 =


505.18


Calculate the Total Cost of borrowing

[10] Total Cost. Only in the case of a (bank) loan

  • TC = The Total Cost of a borrowing is calculated by adding the Transaction Fee Amount to the Future Value.

TC = F + Fee


TC =


F + Fee =


520.80 + 15.62 =


536.42
