<h1>RATE Function</h1>
<p>The <b>RATE</b> function is one of the financial functions. It is used to calculate the interest rate for an investment based on a constant payment schedule.</p>
<p>The <b>RATE</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>RATE(nper, pmt, pv [, [[fv] [,[[type] [,[guess]]]]]])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>nper</em></b> is a number of payments.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>pmt</em></b> is a payment amount.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>pv</em></b> is a present value of the payments.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>fv</em></b> is a future value (i.e. a cash balance remaining after the last payment is made). It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume <b><em>fv</em></b> to be 0.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>type</em></b> is a period when the payments are due. It is an optional argument. If it is set to 0 or omitted, the function will assume the payments to be due at the end of the period. If <b><em>type</em></b> is set to 1, the payments are due at the beginning of the period.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>guess</em></b> is an estimate at what the rate will be. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume <b><em>guess</em></b> to be 10%.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> cash paid out (such as deposits to savings) is represented by negative numbers; cash received (such as dividend checks) is represented by positive numbers. Units for <em>guess</em> and <em>nper</em> must be consistent: use N%/12 for <em>guess</em> and N*12 for <em>nper</em> in case of monthly payments, N%/4 for <em>guess</em> and N*4 for <em>nper</em> in case of quarterly payments, N% for <em>guess</em> and N for <em>nper</em> in case of annual payments.</p>
<p>The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>RATE</b> function,</p>
<ol>
<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
