Simple intrest is one you are making on the principle. Compound Intrest is one your are making on principle plus intrest you have earned on it. So basically you are making Intrest on the Intrest you have earned on your principle.
For Example: Compound Intrest, You have $5000.00 invested in a CD, First month you have earned $100.00 on that CD in intrest, in following month you will earn more because you are getting paid intrest on your $100.00 you have earned in intrest in first month and it goes on like that.
in simple intrest you won't make intrest on intrest you have earned, you will only earn it on actuall $5000.00.
