About this tool

An interest rate quoted as "12% per year" is not the same as "1% per month" — compound interest makes the monthly equivalent slightly less than simple division. This tool does the conversion correctly using the compound formula (1 + r)^n − 1.

It handles three periods: daily, monthly and annual. Enter any one and the other two are calculated instantly in your browser, with no rounding shortcuts.

The result is useful when comparing loan offers quoted in different periods, or when converting a CDI annual rate to the monthly rate an investment actually earns.

The formula

(1 + i_annual) = (1 + i_monthly)^12. General form: (1 + i_a) = (1 + i_b)^(a/b), where a and b are the period lengths.
