using namespace Finance::Banking;

double interestEffective(double rate, int npery)

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,

$\left ( 1 + \frac{rate}{npery} \right ) ^ {npery} - 1$

(1)

where

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

expressed as an integer.

Example 1

#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;
}
