Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need to solve for the interest rate instead of being told it?

Some financing offers, especially retail installment plans, only quote the monthly payment and term, leaving the real rate hidden. This backs it out.

Is this the same as an APR calculation?

It is related, but this solves for the underlying nominal rate from a known payment. The APR calculator instead solves for the effective rate once fees are added to a known nominal rate.
