PV

The PV function returns the present value of an investment based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate.

Syntax

PV (Rate, Nper, Pmt?, FV, Type?) - > Number

Arguments

Arguments
Datatype
Description

Rate

Number, Node reference

The interest rate per period.

Nper

Number

The total number of periods.

Pmt?

Number, Node reference

Equal payments paid out each period during the course of the investment term. This is an optional argument.

FV

Number

The future value of investment. Cash outflows are considered as negative and cash inflows as positive.

Type?

Number

Indicates when the payments are made. Type is zero if payments are made at the end of the period and non-zero if payments are made at the start of the period. This is an optional argument and when omitted, it is considered to be zero.

Example

Consider a Loan of $20000 for which interest payments are made at the end of each year for 6 years. The objective is to calculate the present value where the interest rate is 7%.

To achieve this, the following formula should be written in the [Present Value] node:

PV ([Interest Rate], [Number of Periods], [Payments Made],0,0)
