APR:

On this page:

A savings APR calculator is used to determine the total interest earnings on a savings account over a specific period. You can calculate this using the formula:

\[APR = \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^n - 1\]

Where:

  • \(r\) is the annual interest rate,
  • \(n\) is the number of compounding periods per year.

 

Let's say you have a savings account with an annual interest rate of 2.5%, compounded quarterly. The quarterly interest rate would be \(0.025/4 = 0.00625\), and the number of compounding periods per year is 4. By substituting these values into the formula, you can calculate the APR.
