A rate of 1% per month is equivalent to a simple annual interest rate (nominal rate) of 12%, but allowing for the effect of compounding, the annual equivalent compound rate is 12.68% per annum (1.0112 − 1).
Intressimäär 1% kuus on võrdne lihtintressimääraga 12% aastas, kuid lubades intresside liitumise efekti, saame aastaseks maksemääraks 12,68% (1,0112 − 1).
