Formula Sheet — Simple and Compound Interest

Important formulas and equations from Simple and Compound Interest for XAT Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation.

Formulas — Simple and Compound Interest

Simple Interest (SI)

SI = (P × R × T) / 100
Amount = P + SI = P(1 + RT/100)

Compound Interest (CI)

Amount = P(1 + R/100)^T
CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P
Amount = P(1 + R/200)^2T (Half-yearly)
Amount = P(1 + R/400)^4T (Quarterly)

Difference Between SI and CI

CI - SI (2 years) = P(R/100)²
CI - SI (3 years) = P(R/100)²(3 + R/100)

Population and Depreciation

Population after T years = P(1 + R/100)^T
Value after T years = P(1 - R/100)^T
