Anyone:
I can find out what an APY is with Excel,with this function: =POWER((1+(A1/B1)),B1)-1 where A1 is the Rate and B1 is compounding frequency. I put this formula into any cell on a spreadsheet (except A1 or B1). In cell A1, I put the stated annual interest rate - in decimal format. For example, if the stated annual percentage rate is 10%, I will type ".10" in cell A1. Then, I put the number of times I compound each year. For example, for daily compounding I would enter "365" (or 360 depending on the institution) in cell B1. In the example I've used, I will find that the APY is 10.5156%. In other words, if you get 10% annually with daily compounding, your APY = 10.5156%. If I change the compounding frequency, you will see how the APY changes. For example, I might show quarterly compounding (4 times per year) or the unfortunate 1 payment per year (which just results in a 10% APY). Now, what I need, is HELP. I need a formula that will convert the APY into the APR. So like the above example, I would like to be able to type in the APY as 10% and have Excel show the APR of 9.6455%. The reason for this request is a complete spreadsheet already built with quarterly compounding. I know that a percentage of 9.6455% APR entered will equal 10% APY. I need a formular to show this results for various ARP's and compounding frequency's Thank you for your help |
