    Let z = annual fixed interest rate payable
    Let y = annual reinvestment rate payable*
    Let b = (1 + y/12)n
    Let d = (1 + z/12)n

    The Fixed Rate Switch Fee is: (A/b) x (d – b) + 12P/(byz) x (z(b – 1) – y(d – 1))

    * The ‘annual reinvestment rate’ is calculated as the fixed rate available for a loan with a fixed rate period that corresponds with n as calculated above.
