Why does nothing happen when I click the button?

Short answer. You have not written code in its ActionPerformed method.

What type does getText() return?

A String, so you must parse it to calculate.

Remember

getText gives a String
parse, compute, setText

You click Calculate, and nothing happens. Why? Get text reads a String. Parse double makes it a number. Interest is principal times five times two, by hundred. Set text shows it. Get text gives a String. Parse, compute, then set text.
