“Wealth, in even the most improbable
cases, manages to convey the aspect of
intelligence.”
-John Kenneth Galbraith
Consumer math is a branch of
math that uses basic math skills in real life
situations like shopping, calculating taxes,
estimating monthly budget, calculating
interest rate for a loan, etc. Teaching kids
about spending, saving and other aspects of
"money math" will prepare them to make
better financial decisions.

 When you first deposit money in a savings
account, your deposit is called principal.
 The bank takes the money and invests it.
 In return, the bank pays you INTEREST
based on the interest rate.
 Maturity value is the sum of the principal
and the interest.
 SIMPLE INTEREST is interest paid only in the
PRINCIPAL.

Where:
I=interest
P=principal
r= the interest rate per year
T=the time in years
For instance, you put P280,000 in a
bank which gives you 0.75% interest. If you
leave that money in the bank for the entire
year, (1)what will be the amount? (2)what will
be the amount after 90 days?
1. Suppose you deposit P14,000 in a savings
account. The interest rate is 5% per year.
a. Find the interest earned in 6 years.
b. Find the maturity value after 6 years
c. Given: Maturity Value=P20,000
Find the time of investment.
1. Principal: P12, 500
rate: 5 %
time: 6 months
2. Principal: P120,000
rate: 5 ¼%
time: 3 years
 Compound Interest is when the bank
pays interest on the Principal AND the
Interest already earned.
 The Balance is the Principal PLUS the
Interest.
 The Balance becomes the Principal on
which the bank figures the next
interest payment when doing
Compound Interest.
Ordinary Interest-360 days(Banker’s Rule)
Exact Interest- 365 days
Take the Php280,000 you put into
your bank. If you do not touch it for a year and
the interest is compounded daily with interest
rate of 0.75%, what will be the amount of your
money?

Time deposit or certificate of deposit is a bank
product which is almost the same as a savings
account. With time deposit, the money will be
kept by the bank for a fixed period of time (30
days, 60 days, 90 days, or more) in exchange
for an interest rate higher than that to a
savings account.
Assume that you opened a
Php100,000 time deposit account that earns
2% per annum. You let it stay there for 32
days. Considering the 20% withholding tax
charged to peso time deposits, what will be
the interest income?
