What is beneficial about CD interest rates is that they are constant for the specified period of time. Sometimes interest rates can go up or down but CD interest rates would stay the same.

The definition of periodic interest rate is an interest rate figured over a specific time frame. Compound interest is also figured on a specific time frame. For instance, some interest is compounded quarterly, some is compounded annually or semi-annually, or even monthly.

Simple interest is calculated one time @ a specified rate over a specific length of time. Compound interest is calculated multiple times @ a specified rated divided by the number of given periods within a specified time. example: $100 @ 10% interest over 1 year. Simple interest: principle x rate x time = interest; $100 x .10 x 1 = $10 example: $100 @ 10% interest compounded quarterly over 1 year. Compound interest: principle x {(1 + rate / #periods)n} = interest $100 x {(1 + .10 / 4 )^4} = $100 x (1 .025 )^4 = $100 x 1.1038 = $10.38
If the interest is reinvested and so itself gains interest (in the next interest period) it is compound interest.
What is beneficial about CD interest rates is that they are constant for the specified period of time. Sometimes interest rates can go up or down but CD interest rates would stay the same.
