This document discusses how to calculate effective annual rate (EAR) and effective periodic rate (EPR) from annual percentage rate (APR).
It begins by answering frequently asked questions about APR, EAR, and EPR. APR is the quoted annual interest rate, EAR is the actual yearly rate paid/earned, and EPR is the rate used to calculate periodic amounts given compounding and payment intervals.
An example calculation is then shown to demonstrate determining the EPR given an APR of 6% compounded semiannually with monthly payments. Either the EAR can first be calculated as 6.09% and then the EPR as 0.4939%, or the EPR can

Instructor: Henry Pham I have a supplementary note on APR, EAR, and EPR for Classes 3 and 4, which explains the concept and derivation of EPR, and how to use it. It seems these rates are still confusing to many of you. This additional note hopefully helps clear that confusion. First, I address some frequently asked questions. Then, I discuss an example with detailed calculations with formulas as well as TVM calculator work.
1. FAQs What is APR? APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the quoted (or stated) annual interest rate. It is what you see. What is EAR? EAR (Effective Annual Rate) is the yearly rate that a borrower (saver) effectively pays (earns) given an APR with certain compounding intervals. It is what you get. Can EAR (and APR) be calculated with TVM functions in a financial calculator? Yes, you can use the interest rate conversion menu. For Casio, press Menu / TVM / F5: Conversion. Enter inputs for n (C/Y), and I%. If APR is given, press F1 to get EFF, i.e. the effective rate or EAR. If EAR is given, press F2 to get APR. For TI BA II+, press 2ND ICONV. Press the arrows up or down to enter inputs and compute the output. NOM is the nominal rate, i.e. APR, and EFF is the effective rate, i.e. EAR. What is EPR? EPR (Effective Periodic Rate) is the applicable rate used in the formulas for PV and FV (of a single lump sum, or of annuities), given an APR with certain compounding intervals (C/Y) and certain payment intervals (P/Y). EPR can be calculated with either of the following equations. ( ) 1 1 1 PY EPR EAR = + (1) or 1 1 CY PY APR EPR CY
= +
(2) where CY = number of compounding periods in a year (C/Y) PY = number of payments in a year (P/Y) If an APR is quoted with annual compounding and annual payments (C/Y = P/Y = 1), then EPR is the APR itself. Plug CY = PY = 1 into Equation (2) above, we have ( ) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 APR EPR APR APR

How to calculate EAR and EPR If an APR is quoted with the same compounding and payment intervals, but not annually (C/Y = P/Y 1), then EPR is simply equal to APR divided by C/Y (or by P/Y). Plug PY = CY into Equation (2) above, we have 1 1 1 1 CY CY APR APR APR APR EPR CY CY CY PY
= + = + = =
For example, given an APR of 9% with quarterly compounding and payments, EPR = 0.09 / 4 = 0.0225 = 2.5% (per quarter). If an APR is quoted with different compounding and payment intervals (C/Y P/Y), then EPR is calculated with the full formula. Why is EPR needed if APR is already given? EPR is needed to calculate periodic amounts, e.g. regular loan payments, interest or principal paid per period, or compute PV and FV of annuities. EPR specifically address those periodic intervals. Can EPR be calculated with TVM functions in a financial calculator? Yes, you can, but you dont need to. Once the given inputs of APR, C/Y and P/Y are correctly entered into the calculator, you can compute your output right away. The calculator will take care of EPR. But if you insist, Ill show how to compute EPR with TVM functions (see below). What is the relationship between EAR and EPR? When the periodic amount is annual (P/Y = 1), EPR is the same as EAR. Plug PY = 1 into Equation (2) above, we have 1 1 1 1 1 CY CY APR APR EPR EAR CY CY

Managerial Finance I (CFIN300) 2 Instructor: Henry Pham How to calculate EAR and EPR 2. Example 6.13 in the textbook (page 158, 7 ed.; page 160, 6 ed.; page 154, 5ed) 2.1. The calculator solution for this question is fairly short with the following inputs: N = 300; I/Y (or I%) = 6 (P/Y = 12, and C/Y = 2); PV = 100,000; FV = 0 Compute PMT = -639.81 (The answer of 639.83 in the textbook is due to rounding error.) Theres no need to calculate EPR. 2.2. However, the formula approach would involve EPR. Here, I only show how to calculate EPR. After getting EPR, you can apply it to the formula for present value of annuities to compute the monthly payment in the same way as shown in the textbook.

Calculator: Casio: Menu / TVM / F5. n = 2; I% = 6. Press F1 to get EFF = 6.09 TI BA II+: 2ND ICONV. Press the arrows up and down to enter inputs and compute output. C/Y = 2; NOM = 6. CPT EFF = 6.09 Step 2: Calculate EPR ( ) ( ) 1 1 12 1 1 0.0609 1 1 0.004939 0.4939% PY EPR EAR = + = + = = Calculator: N = 12; PV = -1; PMT = 0; FV = 1.0609; P/Y = 1; C/Y = 1. Compute I/Y (or I%) = 0.4939 Rationale for calculator work: Given an EAR of 6.09% (above), $1 today (PV = - 1) will grow to $1(1 + 0.0609) = $1.0609 in one year (FV = 1.0609). As we set N = 12 (months), and P/Y = C/Y = 1, the solution for I/Y (or I%) will be a monthly quoted rate, which is EPR.
Alternative 2 (I prefer this one as it is shorter.)
Calculator: N = 6; PV = -1; PMT = 0; FV = 1.03; P/Y = 1; C/Y = 1. Compute I/Y (or I%) = 0.4939 Rationale for calculator work: Given an APR of 6% compounded semiannually, half of the interest (3%) is accrued for six months. So, $1 today (PV = -1) will grow to $1(1 + 0.03) = $1.03 in six months (FV = 1.03). As we set N = 6 (months), and P/Y = C/Y = 1, the solution for I/Y (or I%) will be a monthly quoted rate, which is EPR. Managerial Finance I (CFIN300) 3 Instructor: Henry Pham
