FV factor at 15 percent

By Jude Wallis

At 15 percent, the future value of 1 for 5 periods is 2.0114. Multiply a cash amount by that factor. This column is independently recomputed.

The formula

FV factor=(1+r)nFV\text{ factor} = (1 + r)^{n}

Multiply a single amount today by the factor to carry it forward.

Worked example

Using the 15 percent column, what factor sits at 5 periods, and what is 1,000 times that factor?

  1. Read down the 15 percent column to row 5, giving 2.0114.
  2. Multiply: 1000 x 2.0114.

The factor is 2.0114. The product is 2011.4.

How these figures were checked

Every factor on this page is recomputed before the site can build, by a separate program that works a different way: repeated multiplication instead of a power function, a period-by-period sum instead of a closed-form annuity factor, and a solved loan schedule instead of a payment formula. If the two methods disagree anywhere, the page does not ship. Printed factor tables carry typos because nobody can check three thousand numbers by hand; this one is checked on every build.
