AER stands for annual equivalent rate. This shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

 

Gross is the rate of interest paid before any tax (where applicable) has been deducted.

 

Tax-free means you don't have to pay UK income tax or capital gains tax on any interest or returns you earn.
