RATE(NoOfPeriods, Payment, PresentValue, FutureValue, Type, Guess)

  • where, represents total number of payment periods
  • represents the payment made for each period
  • represents the remaining value of payment to be done
  • represents the balance value to attain after last payment is made
  • represents the payments due
  • is the guess value for what rate will be

RATE() calculates the interest rate per period for a year.

Description

RATE(NoOfPeriods, Payment, PresentValue, FutureValue, Type, Guess)

  • RATE is calculated by iteration and can have zero or more solutions.
  • includes principal value and the interest amount. If omitted, is required.
  • , and are optional.
  • If is omitted, Calci assumes it to be zero(0).
  • can be represented as '1' or '0'.
Type Payments Due
0 or omitted At the end of the period
1 At the beginning of the period
  • If is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 10%.

Examples

Consider the following example that shows the use of RATE function:

2 8
-50 -100
2000 50000
0 0
1 0
12%
=RATE(A1*12,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6) displays monthly rate of loan -4.01% as a result.
=RATE(B1*12,B2,B3,B4,B5) displays monthly rate of loan -2.77% as a result.
=RATE(B1*12,B2,B3,B4,B5)*12 displays annual rate of loan -0.33263515005213806 as a result.
