Compound interest increases the amount earned by adding credited interest to the principal, and interest will then be earned on that money as well. The longer the principal and interest remain in the account, the greater the earnings they will accrue.
Interest is earned or paid for the use of money
With compound interest, in the second and subsequent periods, you are earning interest on the interest earned in previous periods. If you withdraw the interest earned at the end of every period, the two schemes will earn the same amount.
If an amount C is invested for n years with an interest rate of r%, then the amount of interest earned is C*n*r/100
Compound interest is the process where interest is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. This means that over time, the amount of interest earned grows exponentially rather than linearly, as interest is earned on interest. It is commonly used in savings accounts, investments, and loans, making it a powerful tool for wealth accumulation. The frequency of compounding (daily, monthly, annually) can significantly affect the total amount of interest earned or paid.

Compound interest means that the amount of interest earned during a period increases the principal, which is then larger for the next interest period.

The amount of money earned on a principal called is interest
The amount of interest earned on an investment is calculated by multiplying the principal amount invested by the interest rate and the time the money is invested for. This formula is typically expressed as: Interest Principal x Rate x Time.
Interest is earned or paid for the use of money
The amount of the promissory note plus the interest earned on the due date is called the maturity value.
The process you are describing is called compound interest. In compound interest, the interest earned on the principal amount is added to the principal, and subsequent interest calculations are based on this new total. This results in interest being earned on both the original principal and any previously accumulated interest. This method contrasts with simple interest, where interest is calculated only on the principal amount.
Rate of interest.
Interest is earned or paid for the use of money
The effect of compound interest is that interest is earned on the accrued interest, as well as the principal amount.
