The Flat Rate Formula
Simple interest formula: Total Interest = Principal × Annual Rate × Duration (Years).
Because you keep paying interest on money you already repaid, flat rate loans carry a much higher effective Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
Simple (Flat) Interest Explained: Formula and Calculation
Learn how flat simple interest is calculated on the original principal and why a 5% flat rate is equivalent to nearly a 9% to 10% effective APR.
💡 အဓိကအချက်များ
- Simple flat interest calculates interest on initial principal for the full loan life, ignoring monthly repayments.
- Because actual outstanding principal decreases every month, a flat rate significantly underestimates effective cost.
- Reducing-balance APR is roughly 1.8x to 1.9x the stated flat rate.
