Formula

The periodic interest rate r is calculated using the following formula:
r = (1 + i/m)m/n - 1
Where,
i = nominal annual rate
n = number of payments per year i.e., 12 for monthly payment, 1 for yearly payment and so on.
m = number of compounding periods per year

The period interest rate per payment is integral to the calculation of annuity instruments including loans and investments.
