Explanation of terms
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. As every advertisement for a savings product, which quotes an interest rate, will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
