Present Value (PV)
The value today of a future cash flow.
Compounding
How often interest is applied.
Annuity
A series of equal cash payments at fixed intervals for a specific number of periods.
Ordinary Annuity
An annuity whose payments occur at the end of each period.
Annuity Due
An annuity whose payments occur at the beginning of each period.
Perpetuity
A stream of equal payments at fixed intervals expected to continue forever.
Discounting
The process of finding the present value of a cash flow or a series of cash flows.
Opportunity Cost
The rate of return you could have earned on an alternative investment of similar risk.
Nominal Interest Rate
The quoted interest rate that is annualized using simple interest.
Effective (Equivalent) Annual Rate (EAR)
The interest rate that reflects annualized compound interest; the actual annual rate earned or charged.
Real Interest Rate
Rate at which purchasing power is earned or paid.
Discount Rate
Interest rate used to compute the present value of future cash flows.
Cash Flow Stream
A collection of cash inflows and outflows over a set period.
Cash Payment (C)

FV = PV(1 + r)^t
The future value of a single cash flow.
PV = FV(1 + r)^{-t}
The present value of a single future cash flow.
FVA_t = C * \frac{(1 + r)^t - 1}{r}

PVA_t = C * \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-t}}{r}
The present value of an ordinary annuity (payments at the end of each period).
FVA_{Due,t} = C * \left( \frac{(1 + r)^t - 1}{r} \right) * (1 + r)
The future value of an annuity due (payments at the beginning of each period).
PVA_{Due,t} = C * \left( \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-t}}{r} \right) * (1 + r)
The present value of an annuity due (payments at the beginning of each period).
PV_{Perpetuity} = \frac{C}{r}
The present value of an infinite stream of equal cash payments.
EAR = \left(1 + \frac{r_{NOM}}{m}\right)^m - 1
The effective annual rate when compounding occurs m times per year for a nominal rate r_{NOM}.
