The formula for simple interest is Interest = Principal x Rate x Time ÷ 100 As the rate is an annual rate and the period is 1 year then Interest = Principal x 4.5/100. The balance at the year end = Principal + Interest = Principal x 104.5/100.
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.
