Deposit 500 million VND for 12-month term, what is the interest rate?

To calculate interest on savings deposits at the bank, you can apply the formula:

For example, if you deposit 500 million VND for a 12-month term at Bank A with an interest rate of 5.2%/year, you can receive: 500 million VND x 5.2%/12 x 12 = 26 million VND.

With the same term amount, if you deposit savings in Bank B with an interest rate of 5.7%, the interest you receive will be: 500 million VND x 5.7%/12 x 12 = 28.5 million VND.
