interest Effective

Interface

InterestEffective

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 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;
}

If less than or equal to 0, effect will return -1
