Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between compound interest and simple interest?

Simple interest applies only to the principal, while compound interest also applies to the profit earned before — so over a long term, compound interest grows more.

Example: 100,000 PKR, 10% a year, 5 years — what is the maturity value?

With yearly compounding, the maturity value is 161,051 PKR and the total profit is 61,051 PKR (100,000 × 1.10⁵ = 161,051).

Is this result final or an estimate?

This is an estimate — the final amount may be a little different because of the bank or scheme's charges, tax and real compounding schedule. Confirm with the bank or scheme before deciding.
