Simple vs. Compound Interest

Simple Interest (SI)

Interest is calculated only on the Principal amount. It remains constant every year.

Formula: P × R × T / 100

Compound Interest (CI)

Interest is calculated on Principal + Accumulated Interest. Your money earns interest on interest.

Formula: P (1 + r/n)^(nt) - P

Why Compound Interest Wins

Albert Einstein called Compound Interest the "Eighth Wonder of the World". In the long run, CI grows exponentially while SI grows linearly. The frequency of compounding (Monthly vs Yearly) also accelerates growth.
