Online Present Value & Discount Calculator - Lump sum and annuity PV
| Year | Future Value | Discount Factor | Present Value |
|---|
Present Value (PV) is the current worth of a future sum of money. Since money has time value (a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow), future amounts must be discounted to their current value. This is fundamental for investment decisions, loan analysis, and bond pricing.
It depends on context: personal finance may use savings rates or inflation (2-3%), corporate finance uses WACC (8-12%), and riskier projects use higher rates (15%+). Higher discount rates produce lower present values.
Lump sum PV calculates the current value of a single future payment (e.g., receiving $100K in 5 years). Annuity PV calculates the current value of a series of equal payments (e.g., $5K/year for 10 years). Annuity PV is the sum of multiple lump sum PVs.
