About Simple Interest
Simple interest is a quick method of calculating the interest charge on a loan or investment. Simple interest is determined by multiplying the daily interest rate by the principal by the number of days that elapse between payments.
Simple vs. Compound Interest
- • Simple interest is calculated only on the initial principal, which means the interest amount stays the same for each period.
- • Compound interest is calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods, resulting in a higher return.
- • For long-term investments and loans, compound interest typically results in much higher final amounts.
