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.
BREAKING DOWN 'Effective Annual Interest Rate'. Consider a stated annual rate of 10%. Compounded yearly, this rate will turn $1000 into $1100. However, if compounding occurs monthly, $1000 would grow to $1104.70 by the end of the year, rendering an effective annual interest rate of 10.47%. Basically the effective annual rate is the annual rate of interest that accounts for the effect of compounding.
