5 Money Making Formulas
1. Compound Interest Formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
- Where:
- A = Final amount
- P = Initial principal
- r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
- t = Time (in years)
- Application: Grow savings and investments exponentially over time.
2. Return on Investment (ROI):
ROI = (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) × 100
- Where:
- Net Profit = Earnings from the investment minus the cost
- Application: Measure the efficiency and profitability of an investment.
3. Savings Growth (Future Value of Savings):
FV = P × [(1 + r)^t − 1] / r
- Where:
- FV = Future value
- P = Regular savings amount
- r = Interest rate per period
- t = Number of periods
- Application: Understand the growth potential of regular contributions to savings.
4. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI):
DTI = (Total Monthly Debt Payments / Monthly Gross Income) × 100
- Application: Ensure manageable debt levels and assess creditworthiness.
5. Break-Even Analysis:
Break-Even Point = Fixed Costs / (Price per Unit − Variable Cost per Unit)
- Application: Determine how many units of a product or service must be sold to cover costs and start generating profit.
