Formula:
The formula for calculating the Effective Annual Yield (EAY) is:
EAY = (1 + (Nominal Rate / Number of Compounding Periods))Number of Compounding Periods - 1
- Nominal Rate: This is the stated or advertised interest rate per year (expressed as a decimal, e.g., 5% is 0.05).
- Number of Compounding Periods: This represents how many times the interest is calculated and added to the principal within one year (e.g., 1 for annually, 4 for quarterly, 12 for monthly).
