What is APR?

Annual percentage rate or APR is the cost of borrowing money. APR includes the interest rate that you pay on a loan as well as other costs associated with the loan. Therefore, the APR is always greater or equal to the interest rate of a loan or credit card.


What Is APY?

Annual percentage yield or APY in short is the rate of return on an investment for a year with compound interest. APY is the interest that you earn by putting money into an investment account.


APR vs. APY

The difference between APR and APY is that APR calculates the costs when you need to borrow money whereas APY calculates the return when you invest your money somewhere. In the case of APR, the lower the better it is because you will pay less money on interest payments. The higher the APR, the more money you end up paying. On the other hand, when you invest, the higher the APY the better as you are expecting money to grow. With a higher APY, your money will grow faster. In the real world, when an investment has a high APY, it usually means the risks are also higher.


How to convert APR to APY?

The APR to APY formula below shows how to convert APR to APY. APY = [1 + (APR / PR)]^n -1, where APY = Annual Percentage Yield APR = Annual Percentage Rate PR = Periodic Rate n = Compound Period




How to calculate APR to APY?

Let's take a look at an example where we want to calculate APR to APY of 17% with monthly compounding. Using the APR to APY formula, we will first calculate the periodic rate with the frequency of 12, because there are 12 months in a year. In this case, n=12. APY = [1 + (17/100 / 12)]^12 -1 APY = (1+ 0.014)^12 - 1 APY = 1.0014^12 - 1 APY = 1.18389 - 1 APY = 0.18389 APY = 18.389% Therefore, an APR of 17% would equal to an APY of 18.38% with a monthly compounding period.
