or subtractions.

made at fixed time intervals for a
specified number of periods.

Future Value
The value your invested money will
grow to become earning a specific
rate of interest over a given time
period.
The process of growing today’s
present value to a larger future value
by applying compound interest is
known as “compounding.”

Present Value
The amount needed today to invest at
a specific rate of interest over a given
time period to accumulate the desired
future amount.
“Discounting” is the reverse of
compounding and is the process of
working from the future value back to
the present value.

Value of a Single Sum

retirement fund of $300,000 in 25

what single lump-sum deposit
must you make today in order to
achieve your goal?
