How It Works
The calculator uses the present value ordinary annuity formula:
PV = P × [1 – (1 + r/n)^(-n × t)] ÷ (r/n)
Where:
- PV = Present Value (the amount those future payments are worth today)
- P = Regular Payment Amount
- r = Annual Discount Rate (in decimal form)
- n = Number of compounding periods per year
- t = Number of years
An ordinary annuity means each payment is made at the end of a period (for example, at the end of each month or year). This is common in most loan or investment setups.
Example
If you expect to receive KES 10,000 per year for 5 years, and the annual discount rate is 8%:
PV = 10,000 × [1 – (1 + 0.08)^(-5)] ÷ 0.08
PV ≈ KES 39,927
That means the total future payments of KES 50,000 are worth about KES 39,927 today, with a discount (or loss in value due to time) of roughly KES 10,073.
