A sinking fund makes money grow over time by adding interest to previous interest earned. ... The rate of return matters when it comes to compound interest.
The type of interest calculated by adding the interest earned to the principal is known as compound interest. In this method, interest is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. This leads to exponential growth of the investment over time, as the interest itself earns more interest. Compound interest is commonly used in savings accounts, investments, and loans.

Compound interest increases the amount earned by adding credited interest to the principal, and interest will then be earned on that money as well. The longer the principal and interest remain in the account, the greater the earnings they will accrue.

With compound interest, in the second and subsequent periods, you are earning interest on the interest earned in previous periods. If you withdraw the interest earned at the end of every period, the two schemes will earn the same amount.
It is interest on simply the original capital. After the first period, compound interest involves interest on the interest earned in previous periods and soit not simple.
Compound interest increases each year because interest is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. As time progresses, the interest earned in previous years adds to the principal, leading to a larger base amount on which future interest is calculated. This compounding effect results in exponential growth, meaning that the amount of interest earned grows at an increasing rate over time. Thus, the longer the investment remains, the more pronounced the increase in total interest becomes.
