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.
Stated interest rates are lower than effective interest rates for savings accounts or loans. Interest rates, whether for savings or loans, can have more than one definition or meaning. A good example of this is the difference between stated interest and effective interest. Stated interest is the specified rate on your savings account or loan. Effective interest is the true rate you earn or pay. There is a difference because a stated interest rate does not take into account the effect of compounding, which increases the rate you earn or pay.
