EAR stands for Equivalent Annual Rate. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. The gross rate (5% gross p.a.) is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
