RATE DAX Function (Financial)

Returns the interest rate per period of an annuity. RATE is calculated by iteration and can have zero or more solutions. If the successive results of RATE do not converge to within 0.0000001 after 20 iterations, RATE returns an error.

Syntax

RATE ( <Nper>, <Pmt>, <Pv> [, <Fv>] [, <Type>] [, <Guess>] )
Parameter Attributes Description
Nper

The total number of payment periods in an annuity.

Pmt

The payment made each period, which cannot change over the life of the annuity. Typically, pmt includes principal and interest but no other fees or taxes.

Pv

The present value, or the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now.

Fv Optional

The future value, or a cash balance you want to attain after the last payment is made. If fv is omitted, it is assumed to be 0 (the future value of a loan, for example, is 0).

Type Optional

The number 0 or 1, which indicates when payments are due.

Guess Optional

Your guess for what the rate will be. If guess is omitted, it is assumed to be 10%.
