# Future value (FV) of an annuity due calculator

### What is a Future Value (FV) of an annuity due?

Future value (FV) of an annuity due is a financial calculation used when determining a value of a date in the future of a set of annuity payments that occur each compounding period. When the payments occur at the beginning of the compounding period (as opposed to a regular annuity, where the payments occur at the end of the compounding period).
As this calculator is structured to parallel the results of a financial calculator, inputs and outputs will be similar – for example, a negative present value (or payment) means an outflow as opposed to a directly negative number.

### How is the Future Value of an Annuity Due calculated?

The FV of an annuity due is calculated through a financial formula used with the time value of money.
$\text{Future Value} = \text{Annuity Payment} \times \frac{(1 + \text{Interest Rate})^\text{Number of Periods} - 1}{\text{Interest Rate}} \times (1 + \text{Interest Rate})$
