Quick answer: the future value formula

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n. ₹2,50,000 at 9% a year for 10 years is worth ₹5,91,840.92.

Overview of the Future Value Calculator

Future value (FV) is what money today will be worth later if it earns a given return. Enter the present value, the annual rate and the number of years — optionally add regular deposits and an inflation rate — and the calculator shows the future value and the growth each year.

FV is the basis of the time value of money: a rupee today is worth more than a rupee tomorrow. To go the other way, use the Present Value Calculator.

How We Calculate

The calculator applies the standard financial formulas step by step.

  1. Convert the annual rate into a growth factor for each month, using your chosen compounding: (1 + rate ÷ n)^(n ÷ 12).
  2. Start with the initial amount and, for each month, add the growth and then the deposit (or the deposit first if you choose the start of the month).
  3. Raise the deposit once a year if you set an annual increase.
  4. Repeat for every month of the period, recording the balance each year.
  5. Subtract total deposits from the end balance to get the interest earned; divide by (1 + inflation)^years for the value in today's money.
FV = PV × (1 + r)ⁿ
with deposits: FV = PV(1 + r)ⁿ + PMT × ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r

Future Value Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

What is future value?

The value of a current sum at a future date, assuming a given rate of return.

What is the future value formula?

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n for a single sum; with regular deposits add PMT × ((1 + r)^n − 1) ÷ r.

What is the time value of money?

The idea that money available now is worth more than the same amount later, because it can earn a return.

How does the compounding setting change FV?

More frequent compounding gives a slightly higher future value at the same annual rate.

What discount or growth rate should I use?

Use the realistic return you expect from the account or investment, not the best-case rate.

How do I find present value instead?

Use the Present Value Calculator, which reverses the calculation.

How is the future value calculator calculated?

It uses the standard formula: FV = PV × (1 + r)ⁿ The full method and a worked example are shown on this page.

Is this financial advice?

No. The calculator gives estimates for planning and learning. Real offers vary by lender, product and date, so confirm the details with your bank, lender or a qualified adviser before deciding.

Can I use another currency?

Yes. The maths is identical in any currency; only the currency symbol shown in the results differs.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing you enter is uploaded or saved.
