TVM Input Area

Payment Timing

Most loans and bonds use end-of-period payments; some rents and annuities use beginning-of-period payments.

Unknown Variable (to be calculated)

Make sure the other four variables are filled in clearly. Empty fields are treated as unknown.

All cash flows (PV, PMT, FV) currently have the same sign. In TVM problems, usually at least one cash flow should have the opposite sign (one side pay, the other side receive).

Result

After filling in four variables and selecting the unknown variable, click "Calculate" to see the result here.

Sign convention: Positive numbers usually represent cash inflow (receive), and negative numbers represent cash outflow (pay). For example, taking out a loan: PV is positive (receive money), PMT is negative (repay each period).
