To solve a continuous compounding problem complete these steps:
1. Compute the annual effective rate using the above equation.
2. Either use this effective rate in your calculations with an annual period (
P/YR
= 1) or
convert this rate so that it applies to your payment period. In the following example,
P/YR
= 12 so you have to calculate a new
NOM
% using the interest rate conversion
application with
P/YR
equal to 12.
Example
You currently have 4,572.80 in an account at Dream World Investments that earns 18%
annual interest compounded continuously. At the end of each month, you deposit 250.00 in
the account. What will the balance be after 15 years?
