01 / CALCULATION MODE

Simple interest, no compounding

Simple interest = principal × annual rate × year fraction. Interest is calculated on original principal only.

02 / ENTER YOUR DETAILS

Optional date range

Enter both dates to override numeric duration. Actual counts use UTC calendar days (including leap days). 30E/360 uses 30-day months and a 360-day year. Without dates, months use 12 equal months and days use the chosen year denominator.

Enter a principal, rate and duration or dates to calculate interest.

04 / COMPARE SCENARIOS

Current vs proposed

Results are mathematical estimates using the selected day-count convention and currency rounding, not financial advice. Your inputs stay in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How is simple interest calculated?

Simple interest equals principal multiplied by annual rate and the selected fraction of a year. Interest is never added to principal for the next period.

What do Actual/365 and Actual/360 mean?

Both count actual elapsed UTC calendar days, including leap days. Actual/365 divides those days by 365; Actual/360 divides by 360.

What does European 30E/360 do?

It treats every month as 30 days and a year as 360 days, using day 30 for the 31st in start and end dates. This is a mathematical convention, not the same as actual calendar days.

Can I solve for principal, annual rate or duration?

Yes, enter known interest and the other inputs. Zero principal, zero rate or zero duration can make a reverse calculation undefined; the calculator reports an error instead of dividing by zero.

Does the optional schedule compound interest?

No. Period interest comes from the original principal and the elapsed year fraction. Cumulative rounding is reconciled to the displayed total without earning interest on prior interest.

How are months and years treated if I do not enter dates?

A numeric year is one year and a numeric month is one-twelfth of a year. Days use the chosen 365- or 360-day denominator. Enter both dates to use actual calendar days.
