On this page is an annual percentage rate to annual percentage yield or apr to apy calculator.
The bank will only quote an APR for many financial products, not the actual yield you'll pay if you go through with the loan or mortgage – the annual percentage yield (APY). This tool will let you convert an APR to an APY to compare to other yields or, alternatively, investment returns, fairly.
