Not usually. A "4 percent increase in the interest rate" usually means that there is some reference interest rate of x percent that is increased to 4 + x percent. This means that the interest paid increases from x percent of the principal to 4 + x percent of the principal. Therefore, the interest paid increases by 100 (4/x) %. For example, if a recent Federal funds rate of 1 % in the United States were to be increased by 4 %, the interest paid on any given amount of principal would increase by 400 %!
The formula for simple interest is Interest = Principal x Rate x Time ÷ 100 As the rate is an annual rate and the period is 1 year then Interest = Principal x 4.5/100. The balance at the year end = Principal + Interest = Principal x 104.5/100.

It is an increasing percentage as the repayment progresses. At the start, it is mostly interest and very little principal whereas near the end it is mostly principal and little interest.

Compound Interest

A fixed percent of the principal of a loan or investment is called a fixed interest. It is paid monthly or annually or whatever based on the agreement made.
An amortized loan is just a basic loan where the principal and interest are paid on a monthly basis. Usually, the majority of the interest is paid first, then the principal.
Interest paid on interest previously received is the best definition of compounding interest.
Charging interest is the method by which a lender profits from loaning money to a borrower. The lender will set the terms of any loan to their advantage. They obviously want to get paid first and get paid the most. The balance of a loan is typically higher at the beginning of a loan, and interest will be charged on the balance. So as a person makes payments on the loan typically he/she will be making a payment consisting of part interest and part principal. As the person pays down the loan the interest that is calculated at the compounding period will be less because the principal amount has been reduced. For example, a person has a $1000 payment, at the beginning of the loan the payment may be broken down as ($900 interest and $100 principal), on the last payment of the loan the payment of $1000 may look like ($950 principal and $50 interest).
