Formula
Simple interest grows linearly because interest is calculated only on the original principal.
Simple interest formula
SI = P x R x T / 100
In this formula, P is principal, R is annual interest rate, and T is time in years.
Total amount is calculated by adding simple interest back to the principal. Unlike compound interest, earned interest is not reinvested into the principal.
