numpy.fv — NumPy v1.13 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy. fv(rate, nper, pmt, pv, when='end')[source]

Compute the future value.

Given:

Return:

the value at the end of the nper periods

Parameters: rate : scalar or array_like of shape(M, ) Rate of interest as decimal (not per cent) per period nper : scalar or array_like of shape(M, ) Number of compounding periods pmt : scalar or array_like of shape(M, ) Payment pv : scalar or array_like of shape(M, ) Present value when : {{‘begin’, 1}, {‘end’, 0}}, {string, int}, optional When payments are due (‘begin’ (1) or ‘end’ (0)). Defaults to {‘end’, 0}.
Returns: out : ndarray Future values. If all input is scalar, returns a scalar float. If any input is array_like, returns future values for each input element. If multiple inputs are array_like, they all must have the same shape.

Notes

The future value is computed by solving the equation:

fv + pv*(1+rate)nper + pmt(1 + rate*when)/rate((1 + rate)**nper - 1) == 0

or, when rate == 0:

fv + pv + pmt * nper == 0

Examples

What is the future value after 10 years of saving 100now,withanadditionalmonthlysavingsof100 now, with an additional monthly savings of 100now,withanadditionalmonthlysavingsof100. Assume the interest rate is 5% (annually) compounded monthly?

np.fv(0.05/12, 10*12, -100, -100) 15692.928894335748

By convention, the negative sign represents cash flow out (i.e. money not available today). Thus, saving 100amonthat5100 a month at 5% annual interest leads to 100amonthat515,692.93 available to spend in 10 years.

If any input is array_like, returns an array of equal shape. Let’s compare different interest rates from the example above.

a = np.array((0.05, 0.06, 0.07))/12 np.fv(a, 10*12, -100, -100) array([ 15692.92889434, 16569.87435405, 17509.44688102])
