TVM Calculator

TVM (Time Value of Money) Calculator calculates value of money in a given amount of interest earned over a given amount of time, including the Present Value or Future Value of a cash flow or annuity, the Annuity Payment given the Present or Future Value of the annuity, and the Nominal Annual Rate which an investment must earn to grow to a Future Value in a specified number of Periods. This calculator assumes the payment frequency the same as interest compounding frequency.

  • Present Value Field - The Present Value is calculated or entered in this field.

When the Future Value is non-zero the number displayed in this field represents the number of periods in the future in which the Future Value occurs. When the Payment Field is non-zero the number displayed in this field represents the number of annuity payments. If Compounding is Monthly for 5 years, user should enter 60 in Periods field, which is the number of years times twelve.
  • Compounding Field - The value selected in this dropdown represents the Compounding Frequency of the Annual Interest Rate. For Annuities, it also represents the Frequency of the Annuity Payments.
