How the Simple Interest works
Simple interest is charged only on the original principal for the whole tenure. It is how some informal loans and a few products still quote.
Formula / method. I = P × r × t. Amount = P + I. t is in years (or year-fraction).
When to use it. Use it to decode a simple-interest quote, then compare with Compound Interest or Flat vs Reducing.
How to run a comparison
- Open Simple Interest from Home search, the Finance Studio hub, or this URL.
- Copy amounts, rates or dates from a document you already have — not a round marketing figure.
- Read the headline result and any breakdown (schedule, slabs, or intermediate rows).
- Change one input at a time so you can see what actually moves the answer.
- Cross-check with a related calculator below, then confirm statutory rates before you act.

Notes and assumptions
No compounding. Day-count conventions can change I slightly.
Results are estimates for education and planning only. They are not financial, tax, medical, or legal advice. Slabs, scheme rates and product terms change; verify against official notifications or a qualified professional before acting.
