Effective Rate of Interest

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Effective Interest Rate
The interest rate on a debt or debt security that takes into account the effects of compounding. For example, if one has a fixed-income investment such as certificate of deposit that pays 3% in interest each month, the effective interest rate is more than 3% because compounding the interest results in a (slightly) greater principal each month on which the interest rate is calculated. In this example, the effective interest rate rate is calculated thus:

Effective interest rate = (1 + .03/12)^12 - 1 = .0304 = 3.04%, where .03 is the simple interest rate and 12 is the number of times in a year interest is compounded. It is also known as the annual effective rate or the annual equivalent rate. See also: Stated annual interest rate, annual percentage yield.

effective rate of interest
The rate of interest that incorporates compounding in the calculation used to determine the amount of interest to be credited to an account. For amounts invested during an entire year, the annual effective rate of interest multiplied by the principal will equal the amount of earned interest.
