Compound interest is the interest on a loan or deposit calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the future value, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal amount and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods.
