Calculate simple interest and the total amount over time.
If ₦100,000 earns simple interest at 8% per year for 3 years, the interest is ₦24,000 and the total is ₦124,000. The interest is calculated on the original principal each year, not on accumulated interest.
Confirm whether the real product uses simple interest, compound interest, fees or a different day-count convention.

Is simple interest the same as compound interest?
No. Simple interest is based on the original principal, while compound interest adds earned interest to the balance used for later calculations.
