Nominal Interest Rate

Nominal interest rate is the stated rate of interest on a loan or investment without adjusting for inflation. It determines the actual interest payment obligation but does not reflect real purchasing power. Businesses use nominal rates when calculating borrowing costs, investment returns, and financing decisions.
