An Interest Rate is an amount which is
charged (or paid) for the use of money. An interest rate is often expressed
as an annual percentage of the principal.
Interest Rates are calculated by
dividing the amount of interest by the amount of principal. Interest rates
often change as a result of inflation and Federal Reserve policies.
For
example, if a lender (such as a bank) charges a customer $90 in a year on a
loan of $1000, then the interest rate would be: (90/1000)*100% = 9%
