FV function

The FV function is one of the financial functions. It is used to calculate the future value of an investment based on a specified interest rate and a constant payment schedule.

Syntax

FV(rate, nper, pmt, [pv], [type])

The FV function has the following arguments:

ArgumentDescription
rateThe interest rate for the investment.
nperA number of payments.
pmtA payment amount.
pvA present value of the payments. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the function will assume pv to be 0.
typeA period when the payments are due. It is an optional argument. If it is set to 0 or omitted, the function will assume the payments to be due at the end of the period. If type is set to 1, the payments are due at the beginning of the period.
Notes

Cash paid out (such as deposits to savings) is represented by negative numbers; cash received (such as dividend checks) is represented by positive numbers. Units for rate and nper must be consistent: use N%/12 for rate and N*12 for nper in case of monthly payments, N%/4 for rate and N*4 for nper in case of quarterly payments, N% for rate and N for nper in case of annual payments.
