The Deep Dive

To find out how much you need to invest today to reach in 3 years with an annual return of , you can use the formula for present value:
Where:
  • = Present Value (the amount to invest today)
  • = Future Value (which is )
  • = annual interest rate (which is )
  • = number of years (which is )
In Excel, you can set it up as follows:
  • In cell A1, input (Future Value)
  • In cell A2, input (Interest Rate)
  • In cell A3, input (Years)
  • In cell A4, use the formula: =A1/(1+A2)^A3
When you calculate it, you’ll find that you need to invest approximately today to achieve your goal of in 3 years.
To make sure your answer appears as a positive value, you can wrap it in the ABS function (i.e., =ABS(A1/(1+A2)^A3)), although with investment, it will always be positive. Investing today gets you that future cash, so yay for keeping your money in motion!
