This interest is calculated by adding the interest earned in the current period to the principal amount and computing the next period?s interest on this ?compounded? total amount. For example, Andrew took a loan of $400,000 at 10% interest rate for 2 years. We know Quote: Compound interest = P(1+r)^n where P=Principal, r=interest rate and n=number of years Thus, compound interest for Andrew = $84,000.
