Present Value Calculator
Find what a future amount of money is worth today.
Enter your values to calculate your result.
Formula
PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)^n
PV is the present value, FV is the future amount, r is the annual discount rate, and n is the number of years. This is the inverse of compound growth — it answers 'how much would I need today to reach this amount later?'
Example
$50,000 received in 10 years, discounted at 6% annually, is worth about $27,919.74 today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What discount rate should I use?
It depends on your purpose — often an expected investment return or inflation rate. A higher discount rate means future money is worth less today.
