An interest rate is the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the principal. It directly affects how much borrowers pay and how much lenders earn over time.
Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal amount and does not compound over time.
Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest, leading to faster growth.
A fixed interest rate remains the same throughout the life of the loan, offering predictable payments.
