With your idle money, you can save it to earn interest. You can quickly calculate bank interest using the following formula:

For example, you deposit 1 billion VND in Bank A, with an interest rate of 6.35% for a 6-month term. The interest you receive is estimated at:

Interest = 1 billion VND x 6.35%/12 x 6 months = 31.75 million VND.
