What is the difference between Simple and Compounding Interest?
Simple Interest is computed Only on the Principal or Original Amount deposited or received. On the
other hand, under the Compounding Interest method, Interest is also earned on the Accumulated
Interest from Prior Periods.
Effectively, Compounding assumes Reinvestment of Interest Earned in Prior Periods at the Same
Rate of Return.

Annual Percentage Rate (Nominal / Quoted Rate) vs Effective Annual Rate
The Quoted interest rate is usually for One Year or Annual.
Ex. SBI offers a 12% personal loan with monthly compounding. Is the borrower actually paying
interest @ 12% per annum?

Where r is the Annual Percentage Rate of Interest specified by the Bank – 12% in the above question.
n is the periodicity of interest within a year – monthly or 12 periods in the question above.
The Effective Annual Rate of interest or Effective Cost of Borrowings is independent of the amount
borrowed. It depends on the periodicity of compounding of the rate of interest.
If we calculate EAR in previous example….
Bank A pays 8.0% p.a. simple interest on its deposits for 3 years. Bank B pays 8% interest
compounded quarterly for the same tenure. How much extra interest would an investor earn by
placing the deposit with Bank B if the deposit amount is ₹10,000 for a period of 3 years?
