  Simple Interest:

 Simple interest is money you can earn by initially investing some money (the principal). Simple Interest is very common topic found in almost all exams like SSC CGL, SSCL MTS and SSC-CPO as well as various banking sector exams. Suppose you borrowed certain amount of money from a bank or a lender and now wish to pay back the amount with a particular pre-decided interest rate, here’s how you can calculate the amount. Following are the terms used in calculation of Simple Interest (S.I.):

Principal (P):

The money borrowed or lent or invested for a certain period is called the principal or the sum.

Interest (I):

Extra money to be paid for using other's money is called interest. Rate of interest is the constant rate at which interest on the borrowed amount increases. It is usually given in terms of per annum (yearly basis).

Time Period (T)

It is the agreed time period for which the amount has been lent. It is usually taken in years.

Simple Interest (S.I.):

If the interest on a sum borrowed for certain period is taken back uniformly, then it is called simple interest.


 Similarly, if we know any three out of 4 quantities, we can find the missing quantity using the basic formula for Simple Interest (S.I.).
