To annualize a quarterly return, start by going online to your investment account to find the quarterly rate of return (ROR) figure. Then divide that percentage by 100 to convert it into a decimal. Add 1 to your decimal. You probably can do that sum in your head, but grab your calculator for the next step. Use the exponent function to take that sum to the 4th power. Now subtract 1 from what you get, and you’ll have your annual ROR in decimal form. If you want the percentage, just multiply the number by 100.

For a quarterly investment, the formula to calculate the annual rate of return is: Annual Rate of Return = [(1 + Quarterly Rate of Return)^4] - 1. The number 4 is an exponent.
How do you calculate quarterly dates?To get quarter from a date, you simply need to divide the month by 3 and round up the result to the nearest integer. Since each quarter of the year consists of 3 months, dividing the month of a date by 3 returns the number of 3-month intervals.
How do I convert my monthly return to quarterly?How can I change the filing type of GST Return from monthly to quarterly?. Visit GST Portal. Login to GST Portal.. On the 'File Returns' view. Select the Financial Year and Period.. Click on the 'EDIT' button to change the filing preference. Select the option and click on 'SUBMIT'. How do you calculate Q4 in Excel?Use the formula =QUARTILE (array, 1) in an empty box to calculate all quartiles in Excel at once. You can replace the array with a cell reference of the dataset. Moreover, number one represents Q1. You can write “2” to determine Q2, “3” to find Q3, and “4” to calculate Q4.
