Learning process of Compound interest is not a very difficult job. It takes few minutes and good concentration to learn. So, concentrate and practice more to become an expert. Now we will discuss basic concept and formulas of Compound interest.
What is Interest ?
Money is not free to borrow. So, when we borrow some money from someone we need to pay some extra money to use the actual money. That extra money is called Interest.
Interest is basically calculate as a percentage on actual borrowed money per year. This means interest will be charged on the money every year at a percentage.
Suppose, Mr. Kumar borrow Rs.20000/- from a bank. He will use that money for 1 year. Now bank charges 10% interest rates on borrowed money. So, how much money Mr. Kumar will pay to the bank after 1 year.
Bank charge in one year is-
20000 X 10% = 2000
So, After one year Mr. Kumar needs to pay the actual amount plus the borrowed fees charged by bank. That is –
20000 + 2000 = 22000
So, Mr. Kumar will pay total Rs.22000/- after one year.
Interest is basically of two types-
Now here in this page we will discuss Compound Interest. If you want to know more about Simple Interest then please Click Here.
What is Compound Interest ?
Definition: When the interest of borrowed money is calculated uniformly for a certain period of time, then the interest is called Compound Interest.
Suppose Mr. Kumar borrowed Rs.20000/- from a bank for 3 years at 10% interest rate. Now if bank chargers compound interest on borrowed money, then Mr. Kumar needs to pay-
Charges for 1st year:
20000 X 10% = 2000
Charges for 2nd year:
20000 X 10% = 2000
Charges for 3rd year:
20000 X 10% = 2000
So, if bank charges 10% interest rates uniformly for 3 years on Rs.20000/-, then Mr Kumar needs to pay Rs.6000/- as interest and total Rs.26000/- after 3 years.
