To calculate simple interest, use the formula I PRT where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the number of years the principal has been invested. When investing money at a compounded interest rate, the interest rate is paid on the original principal and on the accumulated past interest. Compare Simple Interest with Compound Interest 1.
