Worth knowing

The gap to compounding grows with time: 382 here, and it accelerates — check which one your loan or investment actually uses. Most bank products compound; many private/informal loans quote simple interest.

Methodology

Simple: I = P × r × t. Comparison line: P × (1+r)^t with annual compounding.
