Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You can calculate your total interest by using this formula: Principal loan amount x interest rate x loan term = interest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compound interest, can be calculated using the formula FV = P*(1+R/N)^(N*T), where FV is the future value of the loan or investment, P is the initial principal amount, R is the annual interest rate, N represents the number of times interest is compounded per year, and T represents time in years.

Detailed explanation-3: -The compound interest formula is ((P*(1+i)^n)-P), where P is the principal, i is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of periods. Using the same information above, enter “Principal value” into cell A1 and “1000” into cell B1.

Detailed explanation-4: -The one-time interest rate is 1.5%. But before you can use the rate of 1.5% you must convert it to a decimal. To change percent to a decimal, divide by 100: 1.5% ÷ 100 = 0.015.
