The 12 percent nominal interest means that your money will increase in value by 12% in a year's time in NOMINAL terms.
However, the inflation rate of 13 percent says that the cost of goods will increase faster than the value of your deposit.
Hence the REAL effect is that the value of your money will fall by 1 percent.
In a normal year with 365 days, you would have $66,795 at the end of the year. If you were saving in a leap year, you would have $67,161. If you really want to get into "value", you would have to consider inflation/deflation rates (normally around 3% in the US) and decide with what time you want to compare it. In addition, are you investing it in savings or just putting it in a shoebox. If investing it you need to know the interest rate and when interest is compounded (daily , monthly, quarterly, etc) in which case you can calculate nominal interest = Invested amount at time interest calculated * interest rate /period (period being 365.25 for daily 12 for monthly etc.) If you want real interest rate (or value factoring in inflation) real interest = Invested amount at time interest calculated *(interest rate- inflation rate) /period. I am sorry if that actually answered more than what you wanted.
A nominal number names something-a telephone number, a player on a team. Nominal numbers do not show quantity or rank. They are used only to identify something.Here are some examples using nominal numbers:jersey number 4zip code 02116
Nominal values are the values that a component is specified to be. For example, the nominal value of a 10K resistor is 10K. Its actual value may vary, though, based on its tolerance.
intervals in degrees, nominal gender, ratio speed, ordinal grading

Nominal InterestA nominal interest rate is the interest rate that does not compensate for inflation. This is used in relation to "effective interest rate" or "real interest rate."" Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation Rate " Improvement suggested by Palash Bagchi.
Nominal interest rate referes to the rate of interest prior to taking inflation into account. Depending on its application, an inflation and risk premium must be added to the real interest rate in order to obtain the best nominal rate.
The dollar in your pocket is worth .99 of a dollar. also nominal interest=real interest+inflation so nominal interest goes up by 1%
A nominal interest rate is an interest rate that does not factor in the rate on inflation. Nominal interest rate could also refer to an interest rate that does not adjust for the full effect of compounding.
A nominal interest rate is an interest rate that does not factor in the rate on inflation. Nominal interest rate could also refer to an interest rate that does not adjust for the full effect of compounding.
Nominal interest, is the amount of interest on a loan or investment that does not take into account inflation; it's the amount of interest listed on the loan or bond.
the real interest rate equals nominal interest rate minus inflation rate. In the situation the inflation rate increase and the nominal interest rate remains unchanged, therefore the real interest rate must decrease.
No. Nominal interest rate is the rate before adjustments for inflation.
The expected real interest rate.
A real interest rate and a nominal interest rate are quite similar. The only real difference between the two interest rates are that a nominal interest rate include the cost of inflation where as the real interest rate does not.
The expected inflation rate is 11.51%
It means that they are getting less money for deferring expenditure and saving instead. However, it is not the low nominal interest rates which matter but what the "real" interest rates are. This is the difference between the nominal interest rate and the rate of inflation. An interest rate of 2% when inflation is 0% is good news for savers but an inflation rate even as high as 10% is bad news if inflation is higher than 10%.
