Formula Explained
The future value of money is calculated using the following formula:
Future Value (FV) = PV × (1 + r)^n
Where:
- PV = Present Value (initial investment)
- r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
- n = Number of years
If you account for inflation, the formula adjusts to:
Real Future Value = FV / (1 + i)^n
Where:
- i = Annual inflation rate (in decimal)
This adjustment helps you understand the actual purchasing power of your future investment after accounting for inflation.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Basic Investment
Suppose you invest ₹1,00,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% for 10 years without accounting for inflation.
FV = ₹1,00,000 × (1 + 0.07)^10
FV = ₹1,00,000 × 1.967151 = ₹1,96,715.10
After 10 years, your investment will grow to approximately ₹1,96,715.10.
Example 2: Investment with Inflation
Now, let's account for inflation at 3% per year.
Real FV = ₹1,96,715.10 / (1 + 0.03)^10
Real FV = ₹1,96,715.10 / 1.340095 = ₹1,46,790.00
After accounting for inflation, the real value of your investment is approximately ₹1,46,790.00, reflecting its actual purchasing power.
