How the Present Value Calculator works

Present value answers: what is a future sum of money worth today? Because money can earn a return, a dollar in the future is worth less than a dollar now. Present value discounts future cash back to today's terms so you can compare amounts across time.

Formula

PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)ⁿ

PV is present value, FV is the future amount, r is the discount rate per period (decimal), and n is the number of periods. A higher discount rate or longer time makes a future sum worth less today.

Worked example: $10,000 received in 5 years, discounted at 6%

  1. FV = 10,000; r = 0.06; n = 5.
  2. (1 + r)ⁿ = 1.06⁵ ≈ 1.3382.
  3. PV = 10,000 ÷ 1.3382 ≈ $7,473.
  4. So $10,000 five years out is worth about $7,473 today at a 6% discount rate.

How to read the result

Present value lets you compare offers paid at different times. If someone offers you $10,000 in five years versus a smaller amount today, computing the present value tells you which is actually worth more given the return you could earn.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using mismatched periods for r and n (e.g. an annual rate with monthly periods).
  • Picking a discount rate arbitrarily — it should reflect your realistic return or cost of capital.
  • Forgetting that higher discount rates shrink present value sharply over long horizons.

It tells you what a future amount of money is worth in today's dollars, given a rate of return. This lets you fairly compare payments that arrive at different times.
Use a rate that reflects what your money could realistically earn elsewhere, or your cost of borrowing. A higher rate lowers present value.
Yes — future value grows a present amount forward in time, while present value discounts a future amount back to today. They use the same factor (1 + r)ⁿ.
