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

Answer 1

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.
