<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Interest''' is a term that refers to the cost of borrowing money or the return earned on an investment. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the principal, which is the amount of money borrowed or invested. Interest can be calculated in a variety of ways, including simple interest, compound interest, and continuously compounded interest.<br />
<br />
==Types of Interest==<br />
There are several types of interest, including:<br />
<br />
* '''[[Simple Interest]]''': This is calculated on the principal, or original, amount alone. Simple interest does not compound, meaning that an individual will only gain or owe interest on the original amount.<br />
<br />
* '''[[Compound Interest]]''': This is calculated on the principal amount and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. Compound interest can be compounded annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily.<br />
<br />
* '''[[Continuously Compounded Interest]]''': This is calculated by taking the limit as the compounding period goes to infinity. Continuously compounded interest grows at a faster rate than simple or regular compound interest.<br />
<br />
==Calculating Interest==<br />
The formula for calculating interest depends on the type of interest being calculated. <br />
<br />
* For simple interest, the formula is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the interest rate, and T is the time in years.<br />
<br />
* For compound interest, the formula is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years.<br />
<br />
* For continuously compounded interest, the formula is A = Pe^(rt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, and t is the time the money is invested for in years.<br />
