How This Calculator Works

This calculator estimates the returns on a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) based on the principal amount, interest rate, and term length.

  • Interest Paid Out: Interest is paid to the investor each period rather than reinvested: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
  • Compound Interest: Interest is calculated on principal plus accumulated interest: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
