Simple (Flat Rate) Interest Calculator: Calculate the Investment Duration Period, in Days, of the Initial Starting Amount of Money (the Principal Borrowed, Deposited or Lent), of 18,325 Units (Dollar, Euro, Pound, etc.) To Produce a Sum of Money of 550 Units, if the Annual Simple (Flat) Interest Rate Is 3.5%. Transaction fee is 0.5%
Detailed calculations of the duration of the investment
Notations and variables used:
Principal (initial amount), P = 18,325
Amount produced by the interest, I = 550
Annual simple interest rate, R = 3.5%
Transaction fee rate, F% = 0.5%
Transaction fee amount, F
Number of days in a year, N = 365
Calculate T, the investment duration period, in days, to earn the amount I
The simple (flat rate) interest calculation formula:
I = (P × R × T) ÷ N ⇒
T = (N × I) ÷ (P × R) =
(365 × 550) ÷ (18,325 × 3.5%) =
(365 × 550) ÷ (18,325 × 3.5/100) =
(100 × 365 × 550) ÷ (18,325 × 3.5) =
20,075,000 ÷ 64,137.5 =
312.999415318651 ≈
313
⇒ T = 313 days
Calculate E, the amount earned after adding to the principal the amount produced by the simple (flat rate) interest
E = P + I =
18,325 + 550 =
18,875
Calculate L, the amount left after deducting the transaction fee
F = F% × E ⇒
L = E - F =
E - F% × E =
(1 - F%) × E =
(1 - 0.5%) × 18,875 =
99.5% × 18,875 =
18,780.625 ≈
18,780.63
Calculate Pr, the profit of the investment
Pr = L - P =
18,780.625 - 18,325 =
455.625 ≈
455.63
