Part 1: Future value of annuity
Generally, interest can be calculated using simple interest formula.
The simple interest, I, for t years on an amount of P dollars at a rate of interest r per year for t years is:
I=rPt
Where
I = Interest
P = Principal
r = Interest rate expressed as a decimal
t = Time.
Assuming interest compounded annually, the future value or maturity value, A, of P dollars for t years at a rate of interest of r per year is
A = P(1 + rt).
But this is considering only one payment. For annuity, we have yearly payment. The future value of this annuity can be calculated using the following formula:
FV=C*((1+i)^n -1)/i
FV= Future value of ...
