If the interest is reinvested and so itself gains interest (in the next interest period) it is compound interest.

The effect of compound interest is that interest is earned on the accrued interest, as well as the principal amount.
Simple interest is interest paid on the original principle only, Compound interest is the interest earned not only on the original principal, but also on all interests earned previously.
Continuous compounding is the process of calculating interest and adding it to existing principal and interest at infinitely short time intervals. When interest is added to the principal, compound interest arise.
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 Interest
compound... yes it is compound interest.
In mathematics, interest refers to the cost of borrowing money or the earnings from an investment, typically expressed as a percentage of the principal amount over a specified period. It can be classified into two main types: simple interest, which is calculated only on the principal, and compound interest, where interest is calculated on both the principal and any accumulated interest. Understanding interest is crucial for financial calculations, such as loans, savings, and investments.
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.
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.

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.
The effect of compound interest is that interest is earned on the accrued interest, as well as the principal amount.
Simple interest refers to interest that is only paid on principal. Simple discount refers to the amount that is deducted from the amount of the loan.

Yes, that is correct. Compound interest occurs when interest earned on an investment or loan is added to the principal amount, so that subsequent interest calculations are based on the new total. This results in interest being earned on both the original principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. Over time, compound interest can significantly increase the total amount accrued compared to simple interest, which is calculated only on the principal.
