Simple vs Compound Interest
Compounding is one of the most powerful concepts in finance. Abdulla compares simple versus compound interest and the importance of understanding the difference.
Overview
With simple interest, a depositor receiving annual interest from a deposit removes the interest and just reinvests the principal and earns the annual interest rate. With compound interest, the depositor reinvests the principal and interest every year i.e. the interest earns interest so the amount of interest received goes up each year.
