When interest is paid semiannually, you should divide the effective rate by the interest periods per year to determine the effective rate per semiannual period (for example, 12%2 periods =6% semiannual rate). You should also express the time to maturity in semiannual periods (for example, 5 year bonds x2 periods =10 semiannual periods). You should use the same number of interest periods for both principal and interest calculations. If the seiling price and the cash flows are known, the effective interest rate can be found through trial and error.
