Future Value
 

Hi,

Can you please help me to apply a formula in excel where I can find a future
value of an investment "X" years from today, according to the following
example:

Present Value: $4,000.00
Interest: 8%
Period: 20 years

I do not want periodic payments, only the full amount after 20 years.

Thank you in advance,

Juan Solis

I think you can just select the FV formula from the function button and fill
in .08 for the rate, 0 for PMT, 4000 for PV and 20 for the NPER. It comes
out to about $18,600

Just use =FV(0.08,20,0,4000,1) It should come to about $18643.83.
