numpy.rate¶
-
numpy.
rate
(nper, pmt, pv, fv, when='end', guess=None, tol=None, maxiter=100)[source]¶ Compute the rate of interest per period.
Parameters: - nper : array_like
Number of compounding periods
- pmt : array_like
Payment
- pv : array_like
Present value
- fv : array_like
Future value
- when : {{‘begin’, 1}, {‘end’, 0}}, {string, int}, optional
When payments are due (‘begin’ (1) or ‘end’ (0))
- guess : Number, optional
Starting guess for solving the rate of interest, default 0.1
- tol : Number, optional
Required tolerance for the solution, default 1e-6
- maxiter : int, optional
Maximum iterations in finding the solution
Notes
The rate of interest is computed by iteratively solving the (non-linear) equation:
fv + pv*(1+rate)**nper + pmt*(1+rate*when)/rate * ((1+rate)**nper - 1) = 0
