In a multilayer capacitor including a capacitor body, first capacitor portions and a second capacitor portion are arranged in the direction of lamination. While a resonant frequency of the first capacitor portions is set to be greater than a resonant frequency of the second capacitor portion so that the first capacitor portions contribute to low ESL, an ESR per layer of the second capacitor portion is set to be greater than an ESR per layer of the first capacitor portions so that the second capacitor portion contributes to high ESR. Furthermore, a combined ESR of the first capacitor portions is set to be less than or greater than a combined ESR of the second capacitor portion.
