Explanation:

Simple interests is the interest earned on the principal amount only. The amount of interest does not change throughout the life of the investment or loan.

In compound interests, the interest earned in a particular season is added to the principal amount. Adding together interest and the principal amount is referred to as compounding. The effect is that the principal amount increases every year. An increase in principal amount results in higher interest every subsequent year.
