Future Value of Annuity Calculator
Estimate the future value of equal recurring payments with interest, compounding frequency, number of periods, and payment timing. The calculator reports future value, total payments, rate per compounding period, timing, and a payment schedule.
How to use this calculator
Enter the payment amount, interest rate, number of periods, payment timing, and compounding frequency. Choose end of period for an ordinary annuity or beginning of period for an annuity due. For a starting balance plus contributions, use the compound interest calculator or compound growth calculator.
Formula
For end-of-period payments, the standard future value of annuity formula is:
For beginning-of-period payments, the result is multiplied by an additional growth period.
Example
If 1,000 dollars is paid at the end of each period for 10 periods at a 5 percent annual rate with annual compounding, future value is about 12,578 dollars. Paying at the beginning of each period gives each payment more time to grow.
Interpreting results
Total payments show what you contributed before growth. Future value shows the ending amount under the entered rate assumption. Use the present value annuity calculator when you need todayβs value of a payment stream instead.
