Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

In simple interest (SI), interest is calculated only on the principal amount. In compound interest (CI), interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest — meaning you earn interest on interest. CI grows faster over time.

What is the formula for compound interest?

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is principal, r is annual rate (decimal), n is compounding frequency per year, and t is time in years. The interest earned is A − P.

Which is better — monthly or quarterly compounding?

Monthly compounding gives slightly higher returns than quarterly, as interest is added more frequently. The difference is small for typical FD rates but compounds over longer periods.
