Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount. It's commonly used for short-term loans and some deposit schemes.
Formula
Where SI = simple interest, P = principal amount, R = rate of interest per annum, T = time period in years

Scenario:
Loan of ₹50,000 for 2 years at 10% p.a.
Calculation:
