Present Perfect simple is used to show past experiences with present results.

 

I've lived in the same house all my life.

Present Perfect simple is used for events or situations that started in the past and are still true.

 

Tom have just called you to remind you the appointment with the doctor.

Present Perfect simple is used when we are talking about resent events up to the present.

 

Present Perfect almost always refers to the past and implys almost always some consequences for the present or for the future.

 

Important : The difference with the Past tenses (They describes also actions that are completed) is that in the Perfect tense the action insinuates influence in the present or the future while past tense is refering to an action that is done and finished.
