Capital Recovery Factor

The Capital Recovery Factor calculator computes the Capital Recovery (CR) factor based on the interest rate per period (i) and the number of periods.

INSTRUCTION: Enter the following:

• (i) Interest Rate per period.
• (n)  Number of Periods.

Capital Recovery Factor (CRF): The calculator returns the factor rounded to the nearest 1000^th.

The Math / Science

The Capital Recovery Factor is a Discrete Compounding Discount Factor often symbolized as (A/P, i%, n).  

The formula for the Capital Recovery Factor is:

          `CRF = (i (1+i)^n)/( (1+ i)^1 - 1)`

where:

• CRF is the Capital Recovery Factor
• i% - interest rate entered as a percentage; i.e., enter 4.7 for a 4.7% interest rate
• n - number of cash flow periods

NOTES

A CR factor is the ratio of a constant annuity to the present value of receiving that annuity for a given length of time¹.
