We study stochastic Navier–Stokes equations in two dimensions with respect to periodic boundary conditions. The equations are perturbed by a nonlinear multiplicative stochastic forcing with linear growth (in the velocity) driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. We establish convergence rates for a finite-element based space-time approximation with respect to convergence in probability (where the error is measured in the Lt∞Lx2∩Lt2Wx1,2documentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$$L^infty _tL^2_xcap L^2_tW^{1,2}_x$$end{document}-norm). Our main result provides linear convergence in space and convergence of order (almost) 1/2 in time. This improves earlier results from Carelli and Prohl (SIAM J Numer Anal 50(5):2467–2496, 2012) where the convergence rate in time is only (almost) 1/4. Our approach is based on a careful analysis of the pressure function using a stochastic pressure decomposition.
