How It Works

The calculator uses the present value formula:
PV = FV ÷ (1 + r/n)^(n × t)

Where:

• PV = Present Value (the amount that future money is worth today)
  
• FV = Future Amount (the value you’ll receive in the future)
  
• r = Annual Discount Rate (in decimal form)
  
• n = Discounting frequency per year
  
• t = Time Period (in years)

This formula shows how the value of money decreases over time due to inflation and opportunity cost — meaning a shilling today is worth more than the same shilling tomorrow.

Example

If you expect KES 150,000 in 5 years, and the annual discount rate is 8%, compounded annually:

PV = 150,000 ÷ (1 + 0.08)^5
PV = 150,000 ÷ 1.4693
PV ≈ KES 102,089

That means KES 150,000 in 5 years is worth about KES 102,089 today.
