How are interest rates calculated?
Calculating Interest: Principal, Rate and Time are Known--I= p r t http://www.calculator.net/interest-rate-calculator.html The level of interest rates in a free market economy are primarily determined by the rate of inflation, the demand for money, and the actions of the Federal Reserve. Lenders of money will generally demand what is known as a nominal interest rate which is equal to a real interest rate plus a premium to cover the inflation rate. The real, or inflation adjusted interest rate, is the percentage rate of return to a lender as measured by an increase in purchasing power. Yale professor Irving Fisher's economic theory of interest rates laid the conceptual groundwork for establishing that the nominal interest rate equals the real interest rate plus the anticipated rate of inflation. Fisher's mathematical equations in his theory of interest rates are supported by empirical data. A comparison of comparable maturity U.S. Treasury securities, one of which has a fixed rate and the other an inflation adjusted rate, shows that the nominal interest rate always exceeds the real interest rate. A consumer, whether a borrower or a saver, will generally be quoted a nominal interest rate by a bank on a loan or a savings account.

What if the treasury bond rate goes up?
Rates on U.S. government securities such as treasury bonds establish the benchmark for interest rates on all other types of loans. For example, if interest rates rise on treasury bonds, interest rates on consumer loans, car loans and mortgages are almost certain to increase as well. An investor owning individual treasury bond securities would see the value of his bond holdings decline as interest rates increase since there is an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. A loss would occur if an investor sold treasury bond holdings after they declined in value due to a rise in interest rates. A loss on treasury bond holdings could be avoided if the investor holds the bonds to maturity since at that time, the full face value of the bond would be paid to the investor.
