Step 1

The present value of a single future value amount is calculated by the following formula:

 

If the present value factor is available,

Present value = Future value * Present value factor

If the present value factor is not available,

Present value = F ÷ (1+r)n

Where,

F = Future value

r = Rate of interest per period

n = Total number of period
