Simple interest is based on the original principle of a loan. Simple interest is generally used on short-term loans. Compound interest is interest added to the principal of a deposit or loan so that the added interest also earns interest from then on.
simple interes: on principal only; compound interest: on both principal and interest.

If the rate of interest is the same, simple interest benefits the borrower. Compound interest charges (or pays) interest on the accrued interest as well as the principal amount. This is why the APR (annual percentage rate) may differ from the base interest rate on a loan, or on revolving credit balances.

Visit the lender and verify that this is actually happening. There is a difference between simple interest and compound interest based on the interest and the principle outstanding.
Compound interest gives you more, but at a low interest rate (less than 10%), the difference is negligible.
Simple: 160 + (1.6 x 4 x 2) = 172.80 Compound: 160 x (1.04)2 = 173.06
With compound interest, after the first period you interest is calculated, not only on the original amount but also on the amount of interest from earlier periods. As to "better" or not, the answer depends on whether you are earning it on savings or paying it on borrowing!
Simple interest is obtained where you take the interest every year/set period as opposed to compund interest where interest is calculated on the previous answer.For Example: Adding 10% Interest, Starting With 100.Simple: 100, 110, 120, 130...Compund: 100, 110, 121, 133.1...
Simple interest is interest that is calculated only on the amount of unpaid principal on a loan. Such interest is not added to the value of the loan but is tracked separately. Compound interest is interest that is calculated on the total of unpaid principal and accumulated interest on a loan. The difference is in simple interest there is no interest charged on accumulated interest while in compound interest there is interest charged on accumulated interest.
