Future Value Calculator

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n
Future Value tells you what today's money will be worth after earning returns over time.
Essential for goal planning — know how much your current savings will grow to.
The "Rule of 72": Divide 72 by your return rate to estimate doubling time (e.g., 12% → 6 years).
Inflation erodes FV — always compare nominal FV with inflation-adjusted (real) FV.
FV calculation assumes reinvestment of returns at the same rate.
Pro Tip
Use this alongside the Inflation Adjuster to understand the real purchasing power of your future corpus.
