Study Notes

Compound Interest vs Simple Interest

Compound interest is the interest earned on both the principal amount and any accrued interest.
Simple interest, on the other hand, is the interest earned only on the principal amount.

Compounding Frequency

Compounding frequency refers to the number of times interest is calculated and added to the principal amount in a year.

Simple Annual Interest Rate

The simple annual interest rate is the rate of interest applied to the principal amount to calculate the interest earned in a year.

Result of Reinvesting Interest

Reinvesting interest in compound interest leads to exponential growth, as the interest earned becomes the principal amount for the next compounding period, resulting in increased interest earnings over time.
