What is ‘Simple Interest’? 
Simple interest is a quick method of calculating the interest charge on a loan. Simple interest is determined by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal by the number of days that elapse between payments. 
Simple Interest formula:
 

Simple interest formula is given by: 
Simple Interest = (P x T x R)/100 
Where, 
P is the principal amount 
T is the time and 
R is the rate

Examples : 
 

EXAMPLE1:
Input : P = 10000
        R = 5
        T = 5
Output :2500
We need to find simple interest on 
Rs. 10,000 at the rate of 5% for 5 
units of time.

EXAMPLE2:
Input : P = 3000
        R = 7
        T = 1
Output :210

 

Recommended Practice

The formula to calculate the simple interest is: simple_interest = (P * T * R) / 100 where P is the principal amount, T is time & R is the rate of interest. 
 

C++




// CPP program to find simple interest for
// given principal amount, time and rate of
// interest.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    // We can change values here for
    // different inputs
    float P = 1, R = 1, T = 1;
  
    /* Calculate simple interest */
    float SI = (P * T * R) / 100;
  
    /* Print the resultant value of SI */
    cout << "Simple Interest = " << SI;
  
    return 0;
}


C




#include <stdio.h>
  
int main()
{
    // We can change values here for
    // different inputs
    float P = 1, R = 1, T = 1;
  
    /* Calculate simple interest */
    float SI = (P * T * R) / 100;
  
    printf("Simple Interest = %f\n", SI);
  
    return 0;
}

        // We can change values here for
        // different inputs
        float P = 1, R = 1, T = 1;
          
        /* Calculate simple interest */
        float SI = (P * T * R) / 100;
        System.out.println("Simple interest = "+ SI);
    }

// PHP program to find simple interest
// for given principal amount, time 
// and rate of interest.
  
// We can change values here for

$P = 1;
$R = 1;
$T = 1;
  
/* Calculate simple interest */
$SI = ($P * $T * $R) / 100;
  
/* Print the resultant value of SI */
echo "Simple Interest = ". $SI;

Javascript




<script>
  
// JavaScript program to find simple interest for
// given principal amount, time and rate of
// interest.
  
  
    // We can change values here for
    // different inputs
    let P = 1, R = 1, T = 1;
  
    /* Calculate simple interest */
    let SI = (P * T * R) / 100;
  
    /* Print the resultant value of SI */
    document.write("Simple Interest = " + SI);

Output : 

Simple Interest : 0.01

Time complexity : O(1) 
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
