Daily rate

The daily rate of interest (or yield) is a quoting convention for the simple interest nominal annual rate for compounding once per day.

For example, if the quoted daily rate is 5.11%, the amount of interest compounded daily is 5.11%/365 = 0.014%.

Not to be confused with the annual effective rate, which in this case would be 1.00014³⁶⁵ - 1 = 5.24%.
