    =a1+(a1*0.03)

    Or slightly faster calculation (if a large amount of cells is involved):

    Original amount in A1

    then in A2
    =a1*1.03


    then fill down
  • Or

    =PV*(1+R)^N

    where,
    PV = Present Value (sum borrowed?)
    R= Interest Rate (given as 0.04 i.e., 4%)
    N=number of periods (days in your case)

    so for £10 and 8 days
    =£12.67

    :)
