Formula and methodology
Formula: Periodic rate = nominal annual rate ÷ periods; effective annual rate = (1 + nominal rate/periods)^periods − 1.
A nominal rate states the annual rate before the within-year compounding effect is expressed as one annual equivalent. This page converts the rate using the entered number of equal compounding periods, making the difference between stated and effective rates visible.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Nominal annual rate — %; minimum -99.999999; maximum 1000000
- Compounding periods per year — periods/year; minimum 1; maximum 3650
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Nominal annual rate | 12 |
| Compounding periods per year | 12 |
Periodic rate = 1% per month; effective annual rate ≈ 12.683%; compounding difference ≈ 0.683 percentage points.
Assumptions and limits
- The nominal percentage is compounded at equal intervals throughout one year.
- The compounding count is a positive whole number and is used both to divide the nominal rate and to raise the growth factor.
- The rate is a mathematical scenario; fees, minimum balances, payment timing, and disclosure conventions are not included.
- A negative rate is accepted only while each periodic growth factor remains positive.
- The effective rate is not automatically an APR, APY, borrowing quote, or investment forecast.
