Nominal APR to Effective Annual Rate (EAR / APY) Converter

About this nominal apr to effective annual rate (ear / apy) converter

Convert nominal APR and effective EAR/APY in either direction with six compounding frequencies, interest factors and a comparison chart Computes exact algebraic and numerical metrics directly in your browser using IEEE 754 precision without round-trip latency.

Formula & calculation mechanics

The execution engine processes input tokens and applies transformations in the browser sandbox. Specifically, With r = APR/100 and m periods per year: EAR = 100 × ((1 + r/m)^m − 1). Continuously: EAR = 100 × (exp(r) − 1). In reverse, with e = EAR/100: APR = 100m × ((1 + e)^(1/m) − 1), or 100 × ln(1 + e) continuously. Stable log1p/expm1 evaluation; binary64 approximation, at most 12 significant digits shown.

Domain range & precision boundaries

Fixed-rate equivalence only. No payments, deposits, amortization, taxes, fees or inflation adjustment. This nominal APR is not a jurisdiction-specific fee-inclusive legal APR. No guaranteed return or CFA/TI certification. Conversion and 13 chart points use fixed work and small fixed memory; not literally zero memory. No export is required. Enter a signed decimal rate with a dot; exponent notation is accepted. At most 64 characters, including surrounding spaces. Rate magnitude: zero or 10⁻¹² through 1000 percent. For inverse conversion EAR must exceed −100%; for discrete forward conversion APR must exceed −100 × periods per year. Daily means 365 periods.

Calculations in Nominal APR to Effective Annual Rate (EAR / APY) Converter use standard IEEE 754 precision or exact rational models. Verify significant accounting or tax figures with authoritative references.
