If the rate of inflation is 5%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 3% real interest rate on your investment?

8%, if you ignore taxes.

Tax rates on interest income depend upon income level, whether you are in the AMT category, and the type of fixed-income investment. Municipal bonds and money market funds that hold them are tax free in the USA.
