Compound interest gives you more, but at a low interest rate (less than 10%), the difference is negligible.
f(x)= mx+b for simple interest t(n)= abx for compound interest
4500 + (45 x 13 x 7) = 8595 simple interest. 4500 x (1.13)7 = 10586 annual compound interest
the formula for simple interest is I=PRT (interest=principal x rate x time )
simple interest = principle (money) times the rate times the time
P(r/100)^2
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 interst is when you earn interest from your principal but compound interest is when you earn interest from your principal as well as from your previous interest
There is simple interest and there is compound interest but this question is the first that I have heard of a simple compound interest.
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 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.

That depends on how the interest works.Is it simple interest ? Is it compound interest ?If compound, then how often is it compounded ?8% simple interest turns $2 into $40 in 237.5 years .8% compound interest, compounded quarterly, does the job in 37.8 years .As you can see, it makes quite a difference.
