There is simple interest and there is compound interest but this question is the first that I have heard of a simple compound interest.
It is interest on simply the original capital. After the first period, compound interest involves interest on the interest earned in previous periods and soit not simple.
Simple interest is calculated one time @ a specified rate over a specific length of time. Compound interest is calculated multiple times @ a specified rated divided by the number of given periods within a specified time. example: $100 @ 10% interest over 1 year. Simple interest: principle x rate x time = interest; $100 x .10 x 1 = $10 example: $100 @ 10% interest compounded quarterly over 1 year. Compound interest: principle x {(1 + rate / #periods)n} = interest $100 x {(1 + .10 / 4 )^4} = $100 x (1 .025 )^4 = $100 x 1.1038 = $10.38
compound
$494.34 Interest= principal amount * time* simple interest %
No, they are not calculated as "a".
simple interest
Simple interest is calculated on the principal amount only, which may sound like a good idea at first. The problem with simple interest loans is that the interest is calculated daily instead of monthly. This means you will end up paying more in interest with a simple interest loan.
This would be an example of simple interest.
This answer is False!!
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.
The simple interest in this case is $145,000. It is calculated by multiplying the amount by the interest rate and the length of time.
The interest on a loan can be calculated in one of two ways - compounding or simple. Most loans in the U.S. are compounding loans, meaning that the interest is added to the principle each month before the new interest amount is calculated.

The federal prejudgment interest rate is simple, not compound. It is calculated on the principal amount owed, without compounding over time.
Not all deposits gain interest. Deposits to a savings account in a bank usually earn interest. Security deposits sometimes earn interest depending on where you reside. Deposits into investments will earn interest and the rate depends on the state of the economy and the financial markets.
Simple interest does not compound. In other words, If you start off with $500 and get $5 in interest, the $5 you got in interest will not be included when calculating the amount of interest you will get next year. Simple interest can be calculated by the formula i = prt, where i is the amount of money earned from the interest, p is the principle (starting money), r is the rate (as a decimal,) and t is the time in years. Another formula is used to calculated the accumulated amount: A = p(rt + 1), where A is the accumulated amount.
