Parameters

nPayment
Type: Float
Specifies the periodic payment amount. nPayment can evaluate to a positive or negative number. PV( ) assumes that the payments are made at the end of each period.
nInterestRate
Type: Float
Specifies the periodic interest rate. If the interest rate of an investment is annual and the payments are made monthly, divide the annual interest rate by 12.
nTotalPayments
Type: Float
Specifies the total number of payments.

Return Value

Type: Float
Numeric
Remarks
PV( ) computes the present value of an investment based on a series of equal periodic payments at a constant periodic interest rate.
