How to use

About this tool

Simple (flat) interest is what car dealers, personal notes and many short loans actually use — NOT the compound math most calculators assume. This one uses the exact simple formula and shows total payable.

FAQ

Simple vs compound?
Simple pays interest only on the principal; compound pays on interest too — simple is cheaper for borrowers.
Rate per year?

Months instead of years?
Enter years as decimals (18 months = 1.5).
Where is simple interest used?
Auto loans, personal IOUs, bonds coupons, short-term notes.
Currency?
Any.
Why is my bank charging more?
Their quote may be compound or add fees — ask for the APR breakdown; compute simple here for comparison.
