(12C) Actuarial Calculations
Since HP 12C always calculate [n] as an Integer with rounding up result.
Program below help solve this problem to get result with fractional part and [n] can be input with fractional part by using the Actuarial Method.

Example of calculating interest rate required for growth:
A savings account has a balance of $1000. What annual interest rate is required to double the money in 5½ years?

Store 0 in register 0 for END mode; store 1 in register 0 for BEGIN mode.

0 STO 0 > 0 // Set END mode
1000 CHS [PV] > -1000.00
2000 [FV] > 2000.00
5.5 [n] > 5.50
0 [PM]T > 0.00
R/S > 13.43 // Answer

Example of calculating compound interest:
A deposit of $150 is made each month in an account paying 6.5 percent, compounding monthly. How long will it take to accumulate $20,000? Assume END mode.

Store 0 in register 0 for END mode; store 1 in register 0 for BEGIN mode.

0 [STO] 0 > 0.00
6.5 g [i] > 0.54
0 [PV]
150 [CHS] [PMT] > -150.00
20000 [FV] > 20000.00
[R/S] > 100.63

Remark:
All calculations above work on HP 15C using TVM program from the Advance Functions Handbook.
For HP-12C these two program together use about 95 steps this can enhance 12C TVM functions.

This seems to be a Newton-style solver that calculates the interest rate iteratively. This requires the usual convergence check: exit if the absolute value of the last change in i is less than 1E–8. Now take a look at line 53...56: here the HP programmer found a nice way to determine the absolute value of x.

Code:
53 ENTER
54 CHS
55 X≤Y
56 X<>Y

Compared with the common method (calculate √x²) this has three advantages: there are no roundoff errors, LastX is preserved and it also works for x ≥ 1E+50.

Just to be clear – I assume what you want to say is this:

Unlike the 12C, the TVM program in the 15C Advanced Functions Handbook does not round n to the next higher integer, it directly returns a fractional results if required. So the above programs are not needed there.

As far as I can make out the HP12C does use non-integer n for i calculation. The only difficulty is calculating a non-integer n. I tried it on mine and got the correct i value for a non-integer n.

For example:
PV = -100
FV = 111.10 (PMT=0)
n = 1.1
i calculates as 10% which is correct

But:
PV = -100
FV = 111.10 (PMT=0)
i = 10%
n calculates as 2 which is the problem.

The TI BAII Plus (other permitted CFA calculator) does calculate n correctly for these TVM inputs.

As far as I can make out the first program (and longer one) isn't required but the second one is useful and I'll try it now.

RE: (12C) Actuarial Calculations
Thanks Gamo,

That works fine (I'll probably change the registers where the interim values are stored so as not to affect a cashflow already in the calculator). The n value before calling the program needs to be lower than the calculated value or it overflows. Setting it to zero is the best bet before calling the program.
