About Future Value Calculator

Formula

FV = PV ร— (1 + r/n)nยทt where r is the annual rate, n the compounding periods per year, and t the time in years.

Compounding effect

Higher compounding frequency raises the effective rate slightly. Going from annual to monthly compounding at 7% turns 7.000% into ~7.229% effective.

For periodic deposits

This calculator handles a single lump sum. For regular monthly contributions, use the Compound Interest Calculator.
