- Write a C program to read principal amount, rate of interest and time and calculate simple interest.
- Wap in C to find simple interest.
Required Knowledge
- C printf and scanf functions
- C Arithmetic Operators
We will first read Principle amount, rate of interest and time using scanf function. We will use below mentioned formulae to calculate Simple Interest (SI).
- Simple Interest = (Principle x Rate x Time) / 100
C program to calculate simple interest

/*
* C program to calculate simple interest
*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
float principle, rate, time, simpleInterest;
/*
* Take Principle, Rate of interest and
* Time as input from user.
*/
printf("Enter Principle Amount\n");
scanf("%f", &principle);
printf("Enter Rate of Interest\n");
scanf("%f", &rate);
printf("Enter Time of Loan\n");
scanf("%f", &time);
/*
* Simple Interest = (Principle X Rate X Time)/100;
*/
simpleInterest = (principle * rate * time)/100;
printf("Simple Interest = %.2f", simpleInterest);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter Principle Amount 10000 Enter Rate of Interest 5 Enter Time of Loan 2 Simple Interest = 1000.00
