Initial deposit
The starting balance for your certificate of deposit, savings account or investment. You are allowed to use comma for digit grouping and the decimal mark must be a dot. Please do not use currency symbol.
Annual percentage rate
This is the effective annual percentage rate earned. The APR depends on the periodic nominal interest rate and the number of periods per year. E.g. for a 1.50 percent monthly compounded interest rate the annual percentage rate will be 1.50 (periodic interest rate) * 12 (number of periods in a year), which equals 18.00 percent APR or for an annual interest rate of 6.35 percent the APR will be 6.35 * 1 = 6.35 percent.

Interest rate to APR and APR to APY conversion
Interest rate or nominal interest rate (rate of interest before adjustment for inflation) is the percentage of a sum of money charged for its use. It can be applied on savings and investments, where the deposited money earns interest, or for loans and mortgages, where the interest is paid for the use of the borrowed money. Interest rate can be expressed for an exact period of time, or for a whole year (annual interest rate).
The APR is an annualized rate (a rate for a whole year) based on periodic rates. Simply multiply the periodic interest rate by the number of periods per year to get the annual percentage rate.
The annual percentage yield is commonly used by banks and other financial institutions to express the rate of return on investments such as savings accounts and certificates of deposits that pay regular, periodic interest. APY is an annualized rate based on a compounding period of one year. When the deposited money earns interest and the accumulated interest starts earning interest as well, we are talking about compounding.
