Learn it Simple: $I = Prt$. Compound: $A = P(1 + r)^t$. If interest is compounded n times a year, use rate ÷ n for n × t periods.

Example: $\$5{,}000$ at 4% compounded semi-annually for 2 years.

  1. Per half-year: 4% ÷ 2 = 2%. Periods: 2 × 2 = 4.
  2. $A = 5{,}000 \times 1.02^4$.
  3. $A \approx \$5{,}412.16$.
