GSU Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the GSU is:

\[ GSU = \frac{A \times B \times (1 + C)^D}{(1 + C)^D - 1} \]

Where:

\(GSU\) is the GSU result
\(A\) is the initial value
\(B\) is the rate of increase
\(C\) is the periodic interest rate
\(D\) is the total number of periods

What is GSU?

The GSU calculation is used to determine the result based on a given initial value, rate of increase, periodic interest rate, and total number of periods. This formula is commonly used in financial calculations to understand the growth or value over time.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Initial Value (A) = 1000
Rate of Increase (B) = 1.1
Periodic Interest Rate (C) = 0.05
Total Number of Periods (D) = 10

Using the formula:

\[ GSU = \frac{1000 \times 1.1 \times (1 + 0.05)^{10}}{(1 + 0.05)^{10} - 1} = \frac{1000 \times 1.1 \times 1.6289}{1.6289 - 1} = \frac{1791.79}{0.6289} = 2849.09 \]

The GSU is 2849.09.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Initial Value (A) = 500
Rate of Increase (B) = 1.05
Periodic Interest Rate (C) = 0.03
Total Number of Periods (D) = 5

Using the formula:

\[ GSU = \frac{500 \times 1.05 \times (1 + 0.03)^5}{(1 + 0.03)^5 - 1} = \frac{500 \times 1.05 \times 1.1593}{1.1593 - 1} = \frac{609.45}{0.1593} = 3825.76 \]

The GSU is 3825.76.
