FAQs
Q: Is simple interest different from compound interest?
A: Yes! Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any accumulated interest.

A: For now, this tool uses years. If you have months, simply divide the months by 12 (e.g., 6 months = 0.5 years) and enter that value.
