The bonus rate is fixed, however the standard rate of interest is variable.

Gross rate - is the interest rate paid before the deduction of tax.

Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) - illustrates what the interest rate would be if paid and compounded each year.

Net Rate - is the interest rate paid after deduction of tax.

Interest is calculated daily and applied quarterly.

Interest is subject to variation.
