Effective Interest Method. The effective interest method is a technique for calculating the actual interest rate in a period based on the amount of a financial instrument's book value at the beginning of the accounting period.
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.
