Frequently asked questions

What is the present value formula?

Present value = future value / (1 + r/n) ^ (n×t). It answers how much a future sum is worth in today's money at a given discount rate.

Why is future money worth less today?

Money available now can be invested to earn returns, and inflation erodes purchasing power, so a rupee today is worth more than the same rupee in the future.

What discount rate should I use?

Use a rate that reflects your opportunity cost or required return, such as an expected investment return or a borrowing rate. Higher rates lower present value.
