Interest rate or nominal interest rate (rate of interest before adjustment for inflation) is the percentage of a sum of money charged for its use. It can be applied on savings and investments, where the deposited money earns interest, or for loans and mortgages, where the interest is paid for the use of the borrowed money. Interest rate can be expressed for an exact period of time, or for a whole year (annual interest rate).
