How do I calculate flat rate interest in time payment plans
Answers
GPT 3.5
To calculate flat rate interest in a time payment plan, you can use the following formula:
Total Interest = Principal Amount x Interest Rate x Time Period
For example, say you take out a loan for $1,000 with a flat interest rate of 5% per month and plan to pay it off over 6 months:
Total Interest = $1,000 x 0.05 x 6
Total Interest = $300
So in this example, the total interest you would pay on the loan would be $300 over the 6-month period.
Keep in mind that flat rate interest calculations do not take into account reducing balance principle, so the interest amount remains the same throughout the repayment period.
