The quarterly rate of interest (or yield) is a quoting convention for the simple interest nominal annual rate for compounding once per quarter (four times per year).

For example,

if the quoted quarterly rate is 6.00%,

the amount of interest compounded quarterly is 6.00%/4

= 1.50%.


Not to be confused with the related annual effective rate, which in this case is

1.0154 - 1

= 6.14%.
