Future Value Formula
The future value (FV) is calculated using the following formula:
FV = PV * (1 + r)^n
Where:
- PV = Present Value
- r = Interest Rate
- n = Number of Periods
Understanding Compounding
Compounding is the process of earning interest on both the principal and the accumulated interest. The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the future value will be, assuming all other factors remain constant.
Practical Applications
Future value calculations are essential for long-term financial planning, such as retirement savings projections and investment analysis.
