FAQ

What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest accrues only on the principal. Compound interest accrues on both principal and accumulated interest, growing faster over time.

Is more frequent compounding better?

Yes. Monthly compounding yields slightly more than annual compounding at the same rate, though the difference is small.

Is tax on interest included?

Currently calculated before tax. In Korea, interest income tax (15.4%) would reduce the actual amount received.
