Online Effective Annual Rate (EAR) Calculator
Convert nominal annual rate and compounding frequency to Effective Annual Rate (EAR / APY).
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the EAR formula?
- EAR = (1 + r/n)^n − 1, where r = nominal annual rate (decimal), n = compounding periods per year.
- When is EAR used?
- To compare rates with different compounding (e.g. 5% monthly vs quarterly). EAR is the true annual return.
- What is APY?
- APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is the same as EAR—the effective rate after compounding.
