Present Value (PV) calculates what a future sum of money is worth today, given a discount rate. It answers: "How much do I need to invest today to have $X in the future?" It is the inverse of future value and the cornerstone of financial valuation.
💡
Pro Tip
The discount rate you use dramatically changes the result. For personal planning, use your expected investment return. For business decisions, use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

Did You Know?
A lottery winner who wins $1 million paid over 20 years is actually receiving far less than $1 million in present value. At a 5% discount rate, 20 annual payments of $50,000 have a present value of only about $623,000.
