  • We all like money, but how do you calculate things like interest income? Hi, I'm Jimmy

  • Chang, I've been teaching college math for almost a decade and we're here to figure out

  • how to calculate interest income. Now the root of how you do that though is in the famous

  • interest formula, the simple interest formula i equals prt. Now if you remember what they

  • stand for, i is our interest, p is your principle, how much you're putting in, r is your rate

  • of interest and t is time. Now what we're going to be focusing on though is calculating

  • interest income from day to day. So the t is going to be a rather small number. Now,

  • here's a little scenario for you. Suppose you want to invest three thousand dollars

  • at five percent and you want to figure out how much the interest is going to be from

  • day to day. Now because we are talking about day to day, daily, the t is going to be one

  • over three hundred and sixty-five, where three-sixty-five of course is the number of days and you'll

  • be plugging in those numbers back in the simple interest formula. The only thing you have

  • to keep in mind is that with interest rates, make sure you take the percent and always

  • convert it to a decimal, so in the case of five percent, you're going to turn it into

  • point zero five. Now, when you have your calculator, plug it in exactly like this, three thousand

  • times point 05, times one, divided three sixty five, and what you will get rounded to the

  • nearest cent is going to be forty one cents. So that's the amount of interest you're going

  • to earn on day one. But how do figure out what day two is? Well, since you're calculating

  • interest, interest that you earned is interest plus principle, so what you want to do is

  • because you already have forty one cents at the end of the first day, you actually need

  • to add it to the three thousand to figure out how much interest you're going to earn

  • for day two. So your new principle on day two is going to be three thousand dollars

  • and forty one cents. The other two numbers are still going to be the same, but your principle

  • is going to slowly increase. So, plug in the new balance in the simple interest formula.

  • Three thousand point forty one times point 05, times one over three-sixty-five and you

  • will get - and this is strictly a coincidence - another forty one cents. You're going to

  • take that forty one cents and add it to three thousand dollars and forty one cents for a

  • grand total of three thousand dollars and eighty two cents, and that will be the principle

  • you will use for day three and the pattern repeats itself. So, I'm Jimmy Chang and that

  • is how you calculate interest income.
