Tool guide
Find out how much a future value is worth today. Useful for bringing future value to the present, comparing rate and term in temporal discounting and evaluating future goals in current value.
When to use it
- bring future value to the present: It helps you understand how much a future receipt is worth today at a given rate.
- compare rate and term in temporal discount: It is used to review the sensitivity of the present value in different scenarios.
- evaluate future goal in current value: It allows you to decide whether the future goal makes sense in today's money.
How to read the result
- Read Present value as the top answer for the given scenario.
- If the number seems unrealistic, review the entries, unit, rate, or period before concluding.
- Compare the result with the expected order of magnitude to validate whether the scenario was set up correctly.
Inputs that deserve attention
- Future value (R$): It is one of the base values that feed the main account. Review whether this value represents exactly the scenario you want to test.
- Monthly fee (%): Determines the percentage applied in the informed scenario. Use the same rate time basis throughout the calculation.
- Period (months): Controls how long the rule will apply. Term on a different basis than the rate generates distorted comparison.
Method used
- The account combines Future Value (R$), Monthly Rate (%) and Period (months) to generate Present Value.
- The results are calculated directly from the expressions declared in the tool catalog.
Limits and validation
- The simulation depends only on the fields filled in and does not include external costs that have not been informed.
- Changes in rules, tariffs, taxes or commercial conditions may change the actual value.
- The calculation rules are declared in the tool catalogue, with no hidden manual steps.
