example, if you need to compare an interest rate of 12% p.a., payable monthly with an interest rate of 12.50% p.a., payable annually to find which one is expensive in terms of effective cost, convert the former into annual one or the latter into monthly one using this tool - to check out which one is more (or less) expensive than the other.
