APR is a nominal annual rate, while APY includes the effect of compounding over the year. Fees, taxes, and irregular cash-flow timing are excluded.
APR to APY uses (1 + APR/n)^n - 1. APY to APR uses n × ((1 + APY)^(1/n) - 1), where n is the number of compounding periods per year.
Example: a 12% APR compounded monthly has a 1% monthly periodic rate and an APY of about 12.6825%.
