### Future Value Examples

Example 1:

You invest 1,000 for 8 years. How much your investment will be worth at 7.25% annual interest rate compounded annually?

Present Value (PV) = 1,000

Interest Rate Per Period = 7.25%

Number of Time Periods = 8

If you invest 1,000 today, at a rate of 7.25 % per year compounded annually, you will receive 1,750.57 after 8 years.

Example 2:

You invest 1,000 for 8 years. How much your investment will be worth at 7.24% annual interest rate compounded quarterly?

Present Value (PV) = 1,000

Interest Rate Per Period = 7.24% / 4 = 1.81%

Number of Time Periods = 8 * 4 = 32

If you invest 1,000 today, at a rate of 7.24 % per year compounded quarterly, you will receive 1,775.39 after 8 years.

Example 3:

You invest 1,000 for 8 years. How much your investment will be worth at 7.2% annual interest rate compounded monthly?

Present Value (PV) = 1,000

Interest Rate Per Period = 7.2% / 12 = 0.6%

Number of Time Periods = 8 * 12 = 96
