This is a reasonable approximation if the compounding is daily. Also, a nominal interest rate and its corresponding APY are very nearly equal when they are small. For example (fixing some large N ), a nominal interest rate of 100% would have an APY of approximately 171%, whereas 5% corresponds to 5.12%, and 1% corresponds to 1.005%.
It gives the interest on 100 lire, for rates from 1% to 8%, for up to 20 years. [3] The Summa de arithmetica of Luca Pacioli (1494) gives the Rule of 72, stating that to find the number of years for an investment at compound interest to double, one should divide the interest rate into 72.
The nominal interest rate, also known as an annual percentage rate or APR, is the periodic interest rate multiplied by the number of periods per year. For example, a nominal annual interest rate of 12% based on monthly compounding means a 1% interest rate per month (compounded). [2]
