Present and Future Value

Future value is the value of an asset at a specific date, assuming a certain interest rate or, more generally, rate of return.

The future value equals the present value times the sum of 1 and the interest rate divided by the compounding frequency taken to the power of the compounding frequency times the interest periods.

Formula

QuantityVariable["FV", "Money"] == (1 + QuantityVariable["i", "Unitless"]/QuantityVariable["f", "Unitless"])^(QuantityVariable["f", "Unitless"]*QuantityVariable["n", "Unitless"])*QuantityVariable["PV", "Money"]

symbol description physical quantity
FV future value "Money"
f compounding frequency "Unitless"
i interest rate "Unitless"
n interest periods "Unitless"
PV present value "Money"
