What to Focus On

  • Principal means the sum borrowed or lent.
  • Interest and simple interest mean the same.
  • Rate means interest on every ₹100.

  • Simple interest is calculated on the original principal only.
  • The principal does not change in simple interest.
  • Use I = (P × R × T) / 100.

  • Borrowing day is excluded.
  • Repayment day is included.
  • Yearly rate means time in years.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Interest, simple interest, and amount all mean the same thing.

The formula for interest can be used with any time unit, even if the rate is given per month or per year.
