【簡單利息及複合利息公式】Simple Interest and Compound Interest Formulas
SketchMath 數學團隊 SketchMath Maths Team | 更新 Updated 2026-10-20
簡單利息是 I = Prt,本利和 A = P(1 + rt)。複合利息是利息再生利息:A = P(1 + R%)ⁿ,其中 R% 是每期利率,n 是期數。Simple interest is I = Prt, so the amount is A = P(1 + rt). Compound interest earns interest on the interest: A = P(1 + R%)ⁿ, where R% is the rate per period and n is the number of periods.
改變利率 r:直線是 $10 000 的單利,曲線是複利。年期愈長,兩者差距愈大。 Drag the rate r: the straight line is simple interest and the curve is compound interest on $10 000. The gap widens with time. 自己試試 → Try it yourself →
利息公式 Interest Formulas
簡單利息Simple interestI = P × r × t (r per year, t in years)
本利和(單利)Amount (simple)A = P(1 + rt)
本利和(複利)Amount (compound)A = P(1 + R%)ⁿ
複利息Compound interestA − P
每半年/每季計息Half-yearly / quarterly半年計息:R = r/2,n = 2t;每季計息:R = r/4,n = 4tUse R = r/2, n = 2t (half-yearly) or R = r/4, n = 4t (quarterly)
⚠️ 利率與期數要配合 Rate and period must match若每季計息,要把年利率除以 4、年數乘以 4。用 6% 配 n = 8 會令結果偏高。If interest is added every quarter, divide the yearly rate by 4 and multiply the years by 4. Using 6% with n = 8 overstates the amount.
⚠️ 「利息」還是「本利和」? "Interest" or "amount"?P(1 + R%)ⁿ 是本利和,要減去 P 才是利息。P(1 + R%)ⁿ is the amount. Subtract P to get the interest.
單利一直以原本金計算;複利則以本金加上已賺取的利息計算,所以增長更快。
Simple interest is always calculated on the original principal. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus the interest already earned, so it grows faster.
列出 <code>P(1 + R%)ⁿ = A</code>,兩邊除以 <var>P</var> 再取對數,便可解出 <var>n</var>。
Set up <code>P(1 + R%)ⁿ = A</code>, divide by <var>P</var> and take logarithms of both sides to solve for <var>n</var>.
不是。本利和包括本金;利息是本利和減本金。
No. The amount includes the principal; the interest is the amount minus the principal.
