Conversion Direction

APR vs APY

  • APR (Annual Percentage Rate): Simple interest rate without compounding
  • APY (Annual Percentage Yield): Effective rate including compound interest
  • APY is always ≥ APR (when rate > 0)
  • More frequent compounding = higher APY

Formula: APY = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1, where n = compounding periods per year
