Function Documentation

This function computes the effective annual interest rate, based on the nominal interest rate and the number of compounding periods per year.

It is based on the following equation, where

• rate is the nominal interest rate, and
• npery is the number of compounding periods per year,

expressed as an integer.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/finance/banking/interesteffective.h>
 
int main()
{
  int i;
  float f = 4.25;
   
  printf("      Rate    NPery   Effective\n");
  for (i=3;i<10;++i)
  {
    printf("    %f      %d      %f\n",f,i,Finance::Banking::interestEffective(f,i));
    ++f;
  }
  return 0;
}

 Rate          NPery     Effective

 10.250000       9       0.107296

Parameters:

rate	is the nominal interest rate, expressed as a double type. If less than or equal to 0, effect will return -1
npery

Note:

It is assumed that no withdrawls are made on the sum.
