1. What is the OCBC Interest Rate Calculator?

The OCBC Interest Rate Calculator helps you estimate the future value of your savings based on compound interest calculations. It's specifically designed for OCBC savings accounts to help customers plan their financial goals.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + \frac{R}{n})^{(n \times T)} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Maturity amount (SGD)
\( P \) — Principal amount (SGD)
\( R \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
\( T \) — Time period in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how your money grows over time with compound interest, where interest is earned on both the principal and accumulated interest.

3. Importance of Compound Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding compound interest helps in financial planning, setting savings goals, and making informed decisions about investment options. It demonstrates the power of time and consistent saving.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in SGD, annual interest rate as a percentage, select compounding frequency, and time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
