I really haven't understood its definition and how to calculate it. I have calculated the following: Total investment cost: 700 000 money unit No investment, put money in bank instead of investing, 20 years, at an interest of 3%, 1264277.867 mu. Investment. My investment will give an income every year, which I put to bank and after 20 years, I should have 220941.7627 mu. So with this, how do I calculate the effective rate of interest? Take care!

It seems like the investment lost most of its money ($700k down to$220k).

OR do you mean 220941.76 + 700000; since only income from the 700000 was banked yearly?
That would mean 1.381% compared to the 3%....so fire your investment advisor!

Could have happened if 0% was earned by investment for 19 years, then 220941.76 in 20th year.
Or 126000 in 1st year, then 0% for next 19 years (PV of 220941.76 @ 3%). Get my drift?
