annual rate

Cost per year

Annual rate expresses a quantity—usually interest, return, or growth—as if projected over a full year.

A credit card charging 1.5% monthly has an annual rate of 18%.

Banks quote annual rates to standardize comparisons: The annual rate on my savings account is 4.5%.

Annual percentage rate (APR) includes fees; annual percentage yield (APY) accounts for compounding.
