PRINCIPAL & INTEREST • Amount of money deposited is called principal. • Amount of money bank pays on the principal is called interest.
Simple Interest is interest paid only on the principal • Simple Interest Calculation: Dollar Amount X Interest Rate X Length of Time $100.00 x 2% x 1 year = $2.00 At the end of one year you have made $2.00 on your $100.00 initial deposit.
Compound Interest Compound interest, interest is earned on the original amount of deposit AND on the interest that has already been earned on the deposit.
Annual Compound Interest Calculation (Original Deposit + Interest Earned) x Interest Rate x Length of Time Year One: $100.00 x 2% x 1 = $2 $100.00 + $2.00 = $102.00 Year Two: $102.00 x 2% x 1 = $2.04 $102.00 + 2.04 = $104.04
Computing Interest Compounded Quarterly Compound interest means earning interest on your original amount of deposit AND on the interest that has already been earned on your deposit.
Computing Interest Compounded Quarterly To compute interest compounded quarterly, divide the annual interest rate by 4 to get the quarterly rate: 3% or .03 / 4 = .0075

The Rule of 72 The rule of 72 is a shortcut that can be used to find out how many years it will take a deposit to double in value using compounding interest. 72 / Annual Rate of Return = Number of Years to Double
Rule of 72 If you invest $1,000.00, how many years will it take for it to grow to $2,000.00 At 3%? 24 years At 6%? 12 years
