Converting the flat rate of interest to diminishing rate and vice versa takes into account the payments the loan entails. Flat interest rates reflect the amount of interest you will pay if no payments over time are made. Diminishing interest rate factors in that after a payment is made, your over all loan balance will be less, there for your next payment will have slightly less principal balance for interest to be calculated on.

How do you compare Diminishing Interest to Float Interest?

You have confused between the terms. Simple interest and interest at flat rate is one and the same. The other type of interest is diminishing balance or reducing balance. These are interests associated with loans or finances sought. Well a simple rule of thumb is that usually simple interest rate is about half of rate on reducing balance. For e. g. if rate at reducing balance is 12% then simple interest for the same will be around or just more than 6%

What is the current yearly interest rate for a monthly for the rate of 0.6?

If the monthly interest rate is 0.6%, you can multiply that by 12 to get an approximation of the yearly rate. For an exact calculation (involving compound interest), you basically convert the interest rate (0.6% a month) to a factor - that is, your total money increases by a factor of 1.006 (i.e., 1 + 6%) a month. You can raise this to the power 12 to convert it to yearly, then subtract one to convert it back to an interest rate. For small interest rates, as in this case, the result should be fairly close to the above quick estimate.
