What is Present Value (PV)?
Present Value (PV) is a financial principle that states a sum of money today is worth more than the same sum in the future due to its potential earning capacity. In India, investors use PV to evaluate the worth of insurance maturity amounts, retirement payouts, or property sales in today's purchasing power. Understanding PV alongside Inflation is vital for long-term Retirement Planning.
When analyzing business projects, PV is the primary input for NPV (Net Present Value) and IRR (Internal Rate of Return) models.
Present Value vs Future Value (FV)
While a Future Value Calculator tells you how much your savings will grow, the Present Value calculator tells you what that growth is worth in today's terms. For example, if you aim for a ₹1 Crore corpus in 20 years, PV helps you understand how much that ₹1 Crore can actually buy today after accounting for 6% inflation. It is often used in calculating CAGR Returns for Real Return analysis.
