Interest Rate Calculations
Example: Given that Mr Okon picks a union assured savings plan of N5,000,000 for a period of 5years. Calculate his interest rate at the end of the policy.
Solution:
Sum Assured = N 5,000,000
Term = 5years

                                     5,000,000
Annual Premium = .........................     = N1,000,000
                                             5

                                      1,000,000
Monthly Premium = .........................  = N83,000
                                              12

1st Year Interest = 5% of Annual Savings

                                           5
1st Year Interest =  ......................... X 1,000,000
                                          100

1st Year Interest = N50,000

2nd Year Interest

Total Savings = N1,000,000 + N50,000 = N 1,050,000

2nd Year Interest= 5% of Total Savings

                                             5
2nd Year Interest=  .......................... X 1,050,000
                                            100

2nd Year Interest = N 52, 500

3rd Year Interest

Total Savings = N1,050,000 + N52, 500 = N 1,102,500

Third Year Interest = 5% of Total Savings

                                         5
3rd Year Interest=  ...................... X 1,102,500
                                         100

3rd Year Interest= N 55,125

4th Year Interest

Total Savings = N 1,102,500 + N 55,125=N1,157,625

Fourth Year Interest = 5% of Total Savings

                                                    5
Fourth Year Interest=  ................................ X N1,157,625
                                                     100

Fourth Year Interest= N 57, 881


5th Year Interest

Total Savings = N N1,157,625 + N N 57, 881= N1,215,506

Fifth Year Interest = 5% of Total Savings

                                             5
Fifth Year Interest=  .......................... X  N1,215,506
                                               100

Fifth Year Interest= N 60,775

Total Interest Accruable to the Sum Assured of 5, 000,000 savings for 5 years becomes sum of annual interests
N50,000 + N52,500 + N55,125 + N57,881 + N60,775 = N 276,281
