Present value is the value today of a future cash flow after discounting it using an assumed rate and time period. Future value is the value at a specified later date of money held or invested today after applying an assumed rate of return.
supported with limitationsWith periodic compounding at a constant rate, future value can be calculated as FV = PV × (1 + r)^n, where r is the rate per period and n is the number of periods.
