What is Time Value of Money?
Time Value of Money (TVM) is a financial concept that states money available today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This calculator helps you understand how money grows over time with interest.
Key Parameters
- PV (Present Value): The current value of money today
- FV (Future Value): The value of money after all periods
- PMT (Payment): Regular payment amount per period (frequency matches compounding frequency)
- Years: Total number of years (converted to periods based on compounding frequency)
- I/Y (Annual Interest Rate): Annual interest rate as percentage (converted to periodic rate based on compounding frequency)
Payment Modes
- End Mode: Payments occur at the end of each period (ordinary annuity)
- Beginning Mode: Payments occur at the start of each period (annuity due)
Compounding Frequency
The calculator supports different compounding frequencies (Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly). Important: PMT frequency must match the compounding frequency. For example, if compounding is monthly, PMT should be entered as the monthly payment amount. The calculator automatically converts years to periods and annual rate to periodic rate based on the selected compounding frequency.
