APR AER calculadora — the short version

We built APR vs AER calculadora because the other tools for this job either cost a subscription or came with a consent banner the size of a small novel.

Small rate differences stack up over years — always run the maths before signing. Pull last month’s statement open on another tab — then run the sums and the rest of this page explains what the answer means.

Translate between APR (borrowing), AER (savings) and flat rates so you can compare products on a like-for-like basis.

Moments this tool earns its keep

APR vs AER calculadora is aimed at people arriving with questions like these:

"APR vs AER"
"Effective annual rate"
"Nominal vs effective rate"
"What is apr aer"
"How to calculate apr aer"
"Apr aer formula"

Where the number stops being useful

Every tool has an edge where it stops being the right answer. APR vs AER calculadora is no exception:

For legally binding tax or medical decisions — cross-check with HMRC, NHS or a qualified professional.
For very large or very small extremes the rounding error outgrows the useful precision.
When the underlying rate or threshold has changed since the page was last reviewed — always verify with the primary source.
When the input you have is already a derived figure (net of something) — feeding it in as "gross" will double-subtract.

Five things that trip everyone up

Every time you run the sums for a new scenario, one of these creeps in — it's worth knowing them ahead of time.

Assuming the UK and US versions of the same unit are interchangeable — they're not.
Typing a comma where the tool expects a dot (or vice versa).
Rounding early — particularly painful in percentages and compound growth.
Ignoring the time window: a 'per year' answer makes no sense with a monthly input.
Treating the answer as private: screenshots are fine, but the URL always reruns cleanly.

The sources behind the numbers

Where the maths needs an external authority, we cross-check against:

FCA
Bank of England
MoneyHelper
