Future value (FV) is the value of a current asset at a future date based on an assumed rate of growth. The future value (FV) is important to investors and financial planners as they use it to estimate how much an investment made today will be worth in the future.
Future Value = Present Value (1 + (Interest Rate x Number of Years)) Let's say Bob invests $1,000 for five years with an interest rate of 10%. The future value would be $1,500.
