A nominal interest rate is a rate as stated.

Effective interest rate

When comparing interest rates, nominal interest rates and effective interest rates have to be distinguished. An interest rate is called nominal if the period of time after that the interest is cred (e.g. a month) is not identical to the basic time unit (normally a year).

For example, let's assume an nominal interest rate of 6% which is cred as of 6%/12 = 0.5% every month. After one year, the initial capital is increased by the factor (1+0.005)12 ≈ 1.0616. As a result, this nominal interest rate is equivalent to an effective interest rate of 6.16%.

Real interest rates

Interest rates compensate the lender for postponing access to the money. This includes taking account of likely changes in the value of money over time due to price inflation. If the nominal interest rate is adjusted to ignore this change, what remains is called the real interest rate.
