What to Focus On

  • A is the total amount after compounding.
  • P is the original principal.
  • r is the yearly rate of interest.

  • Use this formula when yearly rates are not the same.
  • Each year has its own factor.
  • Multiply all factors with the principal.

  • Principal can be found if the amount, rate, and time are given.
  • Rate can be found if the principal, amount, and time are given.
  • Time can be found if the principal, amount, and rate are known.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The principal and amount are the same thing in every compound interest question.

For half-yearly compounding, only the rate changes; the time stays the same.

For quarterly compounding, the time is divided by 4 instead of multiplied by 4.
