    To calculate the effective interest rate you'll need the following formula.

    (1 + APR / n) ^n - 1 * 100.

    IT looks alot harder than it is.

    APR has to be expressed as a decimal, so 0.1642.

    n is the period. as it is daily, n=365.

    1 + (0.1642/365) to the power of 365. will give you 1.1784 ...

    Minus 1, and times by 100 to get it as a percentage = 17.84%
