Present Value Calculator

Present Value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money, given a specified rate of return. It demonstrates the "time value of money" principle.

1. Future Value (FV):

The target amount of money in the future. Enter 0 if you are only calculating the present value of periodic payments.

2. Periodic Payment (PMT):

The amount you will receive each period (e.g., monthly). Enter 0 if you are only calculating the present value of a future lump sum.

3. Annual Discount Rate:

The annual rate of return or interest rate used to discount future cash flows.

4. Period:

The total number of years until the future value is received, and how often the interest is compounded per year.
