How this calculator works

Future value multiplies by the annual compound-growth factor. Present value divides by the same factor to discount a future lump sum.

Change one assumption at a time to see which inputs have the greatest effect on the estimate.

Worked example

$1,000 compounded at 5% for two years has a future value of $1,102.50.

Limitations

The calculation assumes one annual rate and annual compounding, with no cash flows, fees, or taxes. Editorial review is required before publication.
