Frequently Asked Questions
The nominal rate is the stated annual rate without considering compounding, while the effective annual rate (EAR) accounts for the effect of compounding within the year. For example, a nominal rate of 5% compounded monthly yields an EAR of about 5.12%.
The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the effective annual rate. For a given nominal rate, daily compounding yields a higher EAR than annual compounding.
Yes. Select 'Nominal Rate from Effective Annual' and enter the effective rate and compounding frequency to get the equivalent nominal rate.
