Calculator guide

Understanding the Future Value Calculator

Review the inputs, outputs, calculation method, and formulas used by this tool.

Input parameters

Present Value (PV)
Current lump-sum amount.
Interest Rate (I)
Rate earned each period.
Periods (N)
Number of growth periods.
Periodic Deposit (PMT)
Recurring contribution each period.
Periodic Payment at the
Beginning or end timing of each contribution.

Understanding the results

Future value
Projected ending value of the lump sum and deposits.
Total deposits
Principal contributed over all periods.
Interest earned
Future value above deposits.
Amortization table
Period-by-period account growth.

Calculation principle

The current amount compounds for all periods and recurring deposits accumulate as an annuity.

  1. Read and validate the entered values.
  2. Convert percentages and time periods into compatible units.
  3. Apply the formulas below and present the calculated results.

Formulas

Future value FV = PV(1 + r)^n + PMT × ((1 + r)^n − 1) / r
Beginning deposits Deposit FV is multiplied by (1 + r)

Symbols refer to the corresponding input and result labels shown above.

How to use this calculator

Enter your figures, choose any available options, and select Calculate. You can change the inputs as often as you like to compare scenarios.

Planning note

Results are estimates for education and planning. Taxes, lender rules, fees, and investment returns can vary, so verify important decisions with a qualified professional.
