Finance

This crate (Rust library) provides utility functions for the most common operations (calculations) in Finance.

Usage

Include this library with the following:

[dependencies]
finance = "0.0.0" // preferably the latest version on crates.io

Examples

extern crate finance;
extern crate round;

use round::round;
use finance::{ present_value, future_value };

fn main() {
    let test_value = round(present_value(0.1, 1., 1000.), 2); // 909.09

    let test_value = round(future_value(0.1, 1., 1000.), 2);  // 1100.00
    // and so on with the other apis just feed what's expected
    // particularly the exact types
}

Note that all output are of type f64, you are free to choose what degree of rounding is right for your project.

Unless specified the inputs are expected to be floats. Your program will panic if you pass integers.

Input accordingly if calculating in (monthly, semi-annual, daily) terms. In another words, make sure that your compounding_periods (daily, monthly, annual...) is used with corresponding rates (daily, monthly, annual).

For consistency sake rate is getting passed as a plain float and not as a percentage (%)

If you are wondering about compounding calculation. I got you here

Raison d'etre

Well save yourself some googling or fiddling wiki pages. All formulas have test cases. Feel free to send a PR if you feel like a missing formula should be included (preferably open an issue first 😎)

Do not worry about the functions taking owernership of anything. As primitives support the copy trait.

In the case an array or vector is being processed be assured that they are getting passed as reference and cloned if there is complex operations that have to be made.

Also some of the function names can be judged as quiet verbose and it is worthit. Abbreviations that you have no idea about is the last thing you would want. (There aren't many programmers with a Finance background anyways)

Maintenance

In the forseeable future, I plan to actively manage the repos, so I will follow the salesman motto "If you open it, I will close", meaning that I will fix issues in a speedy matter.
