Understanding your calculation

Method, example and limitations

How the calculation works

Present value discounts a future amount using PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)^n. The discount rate and number of periods must use the same interval. Recurring cash flows require separate discounting.

Example to check

$1,100 received one year from now has a present value of $1,000 at a 10% annual discount rate: 1,100 ÷ 1.10.

Before using the result

The chosen discount rate is an assumption about time and risk. Changing payment timing or using a monthly rate with annual periods changes the result.
