"Interest" is the amount of extra money you earn or you have to pay back.

The Compound Interest formula that will be used is: A = P(1 + r)t.

A = The amount of money (including the accrued interest) after __ years/months or the compound amount.
P = The principal saved or owed.
r = The interest rate earned per year
t = The time period of the loan or amount saved (notice that the time is put into the “power” position)
