COMPOUND INTEREST:
Compound Interest Formula Conversion Period/Interest
Period
Present value of compound
amount Conversion period refers to how
often the interest is calculated
P = F (1+i) -n over the term of the loan or
investment.
P= F
(1 + i )ⁿ m = 12 (monthly)
m = 4 (quarterly)
Where: m = 2 (semi-annually)
P = present value or principal m = 1 (annually)
F = Future Value m = 6 (bi-monthly)
i = rate per period (periodic
rate)
i = j/m
n = number of conversion
period
n = m(t)
t = time
j = nominal rate
m = conversion period
m = 12 (monthly)
m = 4 (quarterly)
Where: m = 2 (semi-annually)
F = future value m = 1 (annually)
i = rate per period (periodic m = 6 (bi-monthly)
rate)
i = j/m
n = number of conversion
period
n = m(t)
t = time
j = nominal rate
m = conversion period
Nominal rate of interest
I = antilog^(logF) – (logP) - 1
n
Finding unknown time
n = (log F) – (log P) or n = log (F/P)
log (1 + i) log (1 + i)
t = _n_
