What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest — interest earns interest. Over long periods, compound interest grows exponentially faster.

What is the Rule of 72?

The Rule of 72 estimates how long it takes to double an investment: divide 72 by the annual interest rate. At 8% annual return, an investment doubles in approximately 72 ÷ 8 = 9 years.

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual rate. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes the effect of compounding within the year. A 12% APR compounded monthly equals a 12.68% APY.
