Calculate the present value investment for a future value lump sum return, based on a constant interest rate per period and compounding. This is a special instance of a present value calculation where payments = 0. The present value is the total amount that a future amount of money is worth right now. Period commonly a period will be a year but it can be any time interval you want as long as all inputs are consistent. Future Value (FV) is the future value sum of your investment that you want to find a present value for Number of Periods (t) commonly this will be number of years but periods can be any time unit. Enter whole numbers or use decimals for partial periods such as months for example, 7.5 years is 7 yr 6 mo. Interest Rate (R) is the annual nominal interest rate or "stated rate" in percent. r = R/100, the interest rate in decimal Compounding (m) is the number of times compounding occurs per period. If a period is a year then annually=1, quarterly=4, monthly=12, daily = 365, etc. Continuous Compounding is when the frequency of compounding (m) is increased up to infinity. Enter c, C or Continuous for m. Rate (i) i = (r/m); interest rate per compounding period. Total Number of Periods (n) n = mt; is the total number of compounding periods for the life of the investment. Present Value (PV) the calculated present value of your future value amount PVIF Present Value Interest Factor that accounts for your input Number of Periods, Interest Rate and Compounding Frequency and can now be applied to other future value amounts to find the present value under the same conditions. Period Time period. Typcially a period will be a year but it can be any time interval as long as all inputs are in the same time unit. Future Value (FV) Future value of a lump sum. Number of Periods (t) Number of years or time periods. Perpetuity For a perpetual annuity t approaches infinity. For "Number of Periods (t)" enter p or perpetuity. Interest Rate (R) The annual nominal interest rate or stated rate per period, as a percentage. Compounding (m) The number of times compounding occurs per period. If a period is a year enter:• 1 for annual compounding • 4 for quarterly compounding • 12 for monthly compounding • 365 for daily compounding Continuous Compounding For frequency of compounding (m) approaches infinity. For "Compounding (m)" enter c or continuous. Payment Amount (PMT) The amount of the cash flow annuity payment each period. Growth Rate (G) If this is a growing annuity, enter the growth rate per period of payments in percentage form. Payments per Period (Payment Frequency, q) How often payments are made each period. If a period is a year enter: • 1 for annual payments • 4 for quarterly payments • 12 for monthly payments • 365 for daily payments Payments at Period (Type) Specify whether payments occur at the end of each payment period (ordinary annuity, in arrears) or if payments occur at the beginning of each payment period (annuity due, in advance) Present Value (PV) The present value of any future value lump sum plus future cash flows (payments) Present Value Formula for a Future Value:\( PV = \dfrac{FV}{(1+\frac{r}{m})^{mt}} \) where r=R/100 and is generally applied with r as the yearly interest rate, t the number of years and m the number of compounding intervals per year. We can reduce this to the more general \( PV = \dfrac{FV}{(1+i)^n} \) where i=r/m and n=mt with i the rate per compounding period and n the number of compounding periods. When m approaches infinity, m → ∞ (continuous compounding) \( PV = \dfrac{FV}{e^{rt}} \) See the present value calculator for derivations of present value formulas. Example Present Value Calculations for a Lump Sum Investment: You want an investment to have a value of $10,000 in 2 years. The account will earn 6.25% per year compounded monthly. You want to know the value of your investment now to acheive this or, the present value of your investment account.
\( PV = \dfrac{\$10,000}{(1+\frac{0.0625}{12})^{12\times2}}= \$8,827.83 \)
Key Takeaways
The present value of an annuity is based on a concept called the time value of money. According to the Harvard Business School, the theory behind the time value of money is that an amount of cash is worth more now than the promise of that same amount in the future. Payments scheduled decades in the future are worth less today because of uncertain economic conditions. In contrast, current payments have more value because they can be invested in the meantime. That’s why $10,000 in your hand today is worth more than $10,000 over the next 10 years. If you own an annuity or receive money from a structured settlement, you may choose to sell future payments to a purchasing company for immediate cash. Getting early access to these funds can help you eliminate debt, make car repairs, or put a down payment on a home. Companies that purchase annuities use the present value formula — along with other variables — to calculate the worth of future payments in today’s dollars.
Calculating present value is part of determining how much your annuity is worth — and whether you are getting a fair deal when you sell your payments. In order to understand and use this formula, you will need specific information, including the discount rate offered to you by a purchasing company. The information you need when using the present value formula:
Factoring companies, or companies that will buy your annuity or structured settlement, use discount rates to account for market risks such as inflation and to make a small profit for granting you early access to your payments. A discount rate directly affects the value of an annuity and how much money you receive from a purchasing company. Standard discount rates range between 9 percent and 18 percent. They can be higher, but they usually fall somewhere in the middle. The lower the discount rate, the higher the present value. Low discount rates allow you to keep more of your money. According to the Internal Revenue Service, most states require factoring companies to disclose discount rates and present value during the transaction process. Always ask for these numbers before you agree to sell payments.
State and federal Structured Settlement Protection Acts require factoring companies to disclose important information to customers, including the discount rate, during the selling process.
It’s also important to note that the value of distant payments is less to purchasing companies due to economic factors. The sooner a payment is owed to you, the more money you’ll get for that payment. For example, payments scheduled to arrive in the next five years are worth more than payments scheduled 25 years in the future. Keep this in mind during the selling process.
Present value calculations are influenced by when annuity payments are disbursed — either at the beginning or the end of a period. Annuity due refers to payments that occur regularly at the beginning of each period. Rent is a classic example of an annuity due because it’s paid at the beginning of each month. An ordinary annuity is typical for retirement accounts, from which you receive a fixed or variable payment at the end of each month or quarter from an insurance company based on the value of your annuity contract.

Let’s say your structured settlement pays you $1,000 a year for 10 years. If you keep all your payments, you will eventually receive $10,000. But what if you lose your job and need more than $1,000 a year to cover your expenses? Let’s assume you want to sell five years’ worth of payments, or $5,000, and the factoring company applies a 10 percent discount rate. In this example, PMT= $1,000 r= 10 percent, represented as 0.10 n= 5 (one payment each year for five years)
Therefore, the present value of five $1,000 structured settlement payments is worth roughly $3,790.75 when a 10 percent discount rate is applied. If you simply subtracted 10 percent from $5,000, you would expect to receive $4,500. However, this does not account for the time value of money, which says payments are worth less and less the further into the future they exist. That’s why the present value of an annuity formula is a useful tool.
Many websites, including Annuity.org, offer online calculators to help you find the present value of your annuity or structured settlement payments. These calculators use a time value of money formula to measure the current worth of a stream of equal payments at the end of future periods. Simply enter data found in your annuity contract to get started. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a quote that reflects the impact of time, interest rates and market value. What you’ll need to use our calculator:
This estimate is a great first step. It gives you an idea of how much you may receive for selling future periodic payments. However, it isn’t perfect. Learning the true market value of your annuity begins with recognizing that secondary market buyers use a combination of variables unique to each customer. That’s why an estimate from an online calculator will likely differ somewhat from the result of the present value formula discussed earlier. Secondary market buyers consider other variables, including:
Use your estimate as a starting point for conversation with a financial professional. Discuss your quote with one of our trusted partners, who can explain the present value of your payments in more detail. It’s also important to keep in mind that our online calculator cannot give an accurate quote if your annuity includes increasing payments or a market value adjustment based on fluctuating interest rates. Email or call our representatives to find the worth of these more complex annuity payment types.
