Example

  • $5,000 at 4% for 3 years → $600 interest; $5,600 total
  • $8,000, 3.5%, 4 years (simple) → Interest $1,120; total $9,120

Formula

Interest = P × r × t, and total = P + interest. Interest is never added to the principal here, so it never earns interest of its own — over long periods this gives much less than compounding.
