Need help with FV in Excell?loan





= FV(0.0347, 2, -4000, -1000, 1)



First argument is your annual interest rate



Second argument is the length of time of your investment. The example using 2 years



3rd argument is the amount you put into the investment annually



4th argument is the present value of the investment



5th argument indicates whether the new amount is added 1: for beginning of a period or 0: for end of a period. The example indicates $4000 is invested in the beginning of a year.



If you are changing interest rate to monthly, make sure you divide payment into 12 as well.



Best wishes.
