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
rateis the interest rate per period.- Cash-flow sign convention: payments you make are negative; receipts are positive.
type = 0models end-of-period payments;type != 0models beginning-of-period payments.- When
rateis 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.
