FV

FV: Calculates future value from a fixed periodic rate and payment stream.

Summary

Use this to project an ending balance after compounding a present value and periodic payments.

Remarks

  • rate is the interest rate per period.
  • Cash-flow sign convention: payments you make are negative; receipts are positive.
  • type = 0 models end-of-period payments; type != 0 models beginning-of-period payments.
  • When rate is zero, result is linear (-pv - pmt * nper).
  • Returns argument-related errors if coercion fails or an input is an error value.

FAQ

What happens when rate is zero in FV?

It falls back to linear accumulation: -pv - pmt * nper with no compounding.
