Investment Formula Explained
The future value of an investment with regular contributions is calculated using a compound interest formula. The general idea is to sum the future value of the initial principal and the future value of an ordinary annuity (for the contributions). Future Value (FV) = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT * [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)] Where:- FV = Future Value
- P = Principal (initial investment amount)
- r = Annual interest rate (as a decimal)
- n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
- t = Number of years the money is invested for
- PMT = Periodic Payment (additional contribution amount)
