As a very simple example, imagine you have £1,000 in a savings account offering interest at 3% per annum. After one year, you could expect to receive interest of £30.
Interest may be paid to you monthly, annually, or at another time, even though it's calculated per annum.
To work out the monthly amount, for example, simply divide the per annum figure by 12. So, if you earned £30 in interest per annum that would equate to £2.50 per month.

That’s because AER accounts for the effect of compound interest, where you can earn interest on interest you’ve already earned.
