How is Bank effective interest rate calculated?
Here’s the calculation:
- Effective Rate on a Simple Interest Loan = Interest/Principal = $60/$1,000 = 6%
- Effective rate on a Loan with a Term of Less Than One Year = $60/$1,000 X 360/120 = 18%
- Effective rate on a discounted loan = (60 X 360/360)/($1,000 – 60) = 6.38%
