Savings Interest Calculator
The spreadsheet below is a savings interest calculator.
It works out nominal and effective interest rates. You have to know
your initial investment which amounts to a known total (final or
future) value in a specified period of time.
The
Nominal Interest Rate is based on the following formula: | The Effective Interest Rate is calculated by the following formula:
|  |  |
where:
P = initial investment
T = future value
N = number of compounding periods per year
Y = number of years i = nominal interest rate eir = effective interest rate Note that the number of compounding periods per year is not needed to calculate the effective interest rate.
Example:
Mr.
Hegel invests the modest amount of $10,000 in a savings bank. Five
years later his investment amounts to only $16,200. What is the
effective interest rate offered by his bank? If interest is compounded
monthly, what is the nominal interest rate offered?
This is a job for our very useful savings interest calculator... We just have to fill in the blanks...
Initial Investment = 10,000.00 Total Value = 16,200.00 Number of years = 5 Nr. of Compounding periods / yr = 12
and the results are
Nominal Interest rate = 9.687% Effective Interest rate = 10.129%
