Calculates the annual nominal interest rate given the effective rate and number of compounding periods per year.
Common Questions about the NOMINAL Formula:
• What does the NOMINAL Formula do in Google Sheets?
• How can NOMINAL Function be used to calculate nominal interest rate?
• What is the syntax of the NOMINAL Formula?
How can the NOMINAL Formula be used appropriately:
• Calculate the effective annual yield from a nominal interest rate

• Calculate future value of investments
How can the NOMINAL Formula be commonly mistyped:
• The NOMINAL formula is often confused with the EFFECTIVE function and mistyped as EFFECTIVE instead of NOMINAL
• Some users may mistake the Function Arguments (rate, nper, pmt, fv)
• Some common mistypes are NMINAL, NOMNAL, NOMINL.
What are some common ways the NOMINAL Formula is used inappropriately:
• Trying to use the formula to calculate the nominal interest rate from an effective rate
• Trying to use the formula to calculate the future value of a present investment
What are some common pitfalls when using the NOMINAL Formula:
