What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest? Is the amount of interest higher or lower when the interest is simple rather than compound?


Simple interest is calculated on the balance of the principal only. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus previous amounts of interest accumulated. The amount of interest accumulated by simple interest is always less than the amount if interest is compounded at the same interest rate.
