### Present Value of Annuity Examples

Example 1:

You invest 10,000.00 for 25 years at the end of each year. How much the investment is worth today at 5.25% annual interest rate compounded annually?

Payment Amount = 10,000

Interest Rate Per Period = 5.25%

Number of Time Periods = 25

Annuity Type: Ordinary (End)

If you were to continually invest 10,000.00 at the end of every year, at a rate of 5.25 % per year, you would receive 494,055.11 after 25 years, which is worth 137,474.70 today.

Example 2:

You invest 10,000.00 for 25 years at the beginning of each year. How much the investment is worth today at 5.25% annual interest rate compounded annually?

Payment Amount = 10,000

Interest Rate Per Period = 5.25%

Number of Time Periods = 25

Annuity Type: Due (Beginning)

If you were to continually invest 10,000.00 at the beginning of every year, at a rate of 5.25 % per year, you would receive 519,993.00 after 25 years, which is worth 144,692.12 today.

Example 3:

You invest 2,500.00 for 25 years at the end of each quarter. How much the investment is worth today at 5.24% annual interest rate compounded quarterly?
