2. What is interest?
20XX presentation title 2
Interest refers to the cost of borrowing money or the
reward for lending money. Typically, banks charge
interest on money borrowed on top of the expected
repayment of the principal. At the same time, banks
also pay interest on depositors’ funds in savings and
investment accounts. They do so to entice more
deposits, which they use for on-lending to
customers, charging a higher interest rate than they
pay depositors.

Compound Interest
Compound interest is the interest calculated on the principal and the
interest accumulated over the previous period. It is different from simple
interest, where interest is not added to the principal while calculating the interest
during the next period. In Mathematics, compound interest is usually denoted by
C.I.

formula.
Here,
• A represents the new principal sum or the total amount of
money after compounding period
• P represents the original amount or initial amount
• r is the annual interest rate
• n represents the compounding frequency or the number of
times interest is compounded in a year
• t represents the number of years
