What to Focus On

  • Principal is the original money borrowed.
  • Interest is extra money paid for using borrowed money.
  • Amount = Principal + Interest.
  • Simple interest stays the same each year on the same principal and rate.
  • Compound interest grows because the principal keeps increasing.
  • For the first year, simple interest and compound interest are equal.
  • The principal grows after every conversion period.
  • Compound interest increases every year on the same sum and rate.
  • C.I. of 2nd year is always more than C.I. of 1st year.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Compound interest is calculated on the original principal every year.

Simple interest and compound interest are different from the first year itself.

Compound interest is just the sum of separate yearly interests on the original principal.
