Simple Interest vs Compound Interest
Same contributions, same rate — the only difference is whether interest earns interest

Compound Interest: The Engine Behind SIP Wealth
Compound interest means the interest you earn is added back to your principal, so the next round of interest is calculated on a bigger base — interest earning interest. This compound interest calculator shows exactly how that snowball effect plays out, whichever compounding frequency you choose.
FD quarterly compounding vs mutual fund Growth option: Bank Fixed Deposits typically compound interest quarterly, which is why the effective yield on an FD is always a touch higher than its quoted “annual” rate. A mutual fund’s Growth option reinvests all gains back into the NAV automatically — effectively compounding every business day the market is open — which is one reason a long-tenure SIP or lumpsum in equity/hybrid funds can compound faster than a similarly-rated FD over the long run, though it carries market risk that an FD does not.
The longer the money stays invested, the larger the gap between simple and compound growth becomes — which is exactly why starting early matters more than the exact rate you earn.
