What interest applies when interest for each year is based on the amount of the loan or investment?
When each interest calculation uses the initial amount, this is called Simple Interest. The other type is Compound Interest, which uses the current balance as the basis for interest calculation.
Is simple interest at 4.25 percent better than compound interest at 4.25 percent?
Simple interest is the interest you earn on your principal, IE the amount of your original investment. For example, you put 1000 dollars in a saving account paying 3% per annum. At the end of the year you will have earned 30 dollars on that one thousand dollars. If you leave the principal and interest in the account for another year you will earn another 30.00 on your original 1000 dollars plus .90 interest. on the first 30.00 dollars interest. This gives you a total of 1060.90 in your second year. In each succeeding year you will earn interest on your interest plus interest on your original principal which, if left alone will add up to a substantial some given the power of compound interest. One caveat, compound interest is a double edged sword. If you have a loan and fail to make your monthly payments on time, compound interest will gut you financially.
Why the amount of interest earned increases in each succeeding years?
because the financial thing doesnt always have to.
What is the concepts of compound interest?
The concept is that at the end of each time interval, the interest for that period is added to the principal. As a reult, the interest for any period is calculated not only on the principal but also the interest from previous periods.
How much would savings of 1550 at an annual interest rate of 2 percent be worth in 11 years?
1927.23 IF the interest is compound (accrued on the totalsum each year)... 1891.00 IF the interest is simply calculated on the initial deposit.
