The Language of Business Mathematics

annuity

A continuous stream of equal periodic payments from one party to another for a specified period of time to fulfill a financial obligation.

annuity payment

The dollar amount of the equal periodic payment in an annuity environment.

due

Annuity payments that are each made at the beginning of a payment interval.

future value of any annuity

The sum of all the future values for all of the annuity payments when they are moved to the end of the last payment interval.

general annuity

An annuity in which the payment frequency and compounding frequency are unequal.

general annuity due

An annuity where payments are made at the beginning of the payment intervals and the payment and compounding frequencies are unequal. The first payment occurs on the same date as the beginning of the annuity, while the end of the annuity is one payment interval after the last payment.

ordinary

Annuity payments that are each made at the end of a payment interval; this is the most common form of an annuity payment.

ordinary general annuity

An annuity where payments are made at the end of the payment intervals and the payment and compounding frequencies are unequal. The first payment occurs one interval after the beginning of the annuity, while the last payment is on the same date as the end of the annuity.

ordinary simple annuity

An annuity where payments are made at the end of the payment intervals and the payment and compounding frequencies are equal. The first payment occurs one interval after the beginning of the annuity while the last payment is on the same date as the end of the annuity.

payment interval

The amount of time between each continuous and equal annuity payment.

payment frequency

The number of annuity payments in a complete year.

present value of any annuity

The sum of all the present values for all of the annuity payments when they are moved to the beginning of the first payment interval.

simple annuity

An annuity in which the payment frequency and compounding frequency are equal.

simple annuity due

An annuity where payments are made at the beginning of the payment intervals and the payment and compounding frequencies are equal. The first payment occurs on the same date as the beginning of the annuity, while the end of the annuity is one payment interval after the last payment.

The Formulas You Need to Know

Symbols Used

CY = compounding per year or compounding frequency

FVDUE = future value of annuity due

FVORD = future value of an ordinary annuity

IY = nominal interest rate

i = periodic interest rate

N = number of annuity payments

PY = payments per year or payment frequency

PMT = annuity payment amount

PVDUE = present value of annuity due

PVORD = present value of ordinary annuity

Years = the term of the annuity

Formulas Introduced

Formula 11.1 Number of Annuity Payments:

N=PY× Years

Formula 11.2 Ordinary Annuity Future Value:

FVORD=PMT[[(1+i)CYPY]N1(1+i)CYPY1]

Formula 11.3 Annuity Due Future Value:

FVDUE=PMT[[(1+i)CYPY]N1(1+i)CYPY1]×(1+i)CYPY

Formula 11.4 Ordinary Annuity Present Value:

PVORD=PMT[1[1(1+i)CYPY]N(1+i)CYPY1]

Formula 11.5 Annuity Due Present Value:

PVDUE=PMT[1[1(1+i)CYPY]N(1+i)CYPY1]×(1+i)CYPY

Annuity Type Settings

  • The calculator default is for END mode, which is the ordinary annuity.
  • The annuity type (payment timing) setting can be found on the second shelf above the PMT key. This function works as a toggle.
  • To toggle the setting, complete the following sequence:
    • 2nd BGN (the current payment timing of END or BGN is displayed)
    • 2nd SET (it toggles to the other setting)
    • 2nd Quit (to get out of the window)
  • When the calculator is in annuity due mode, a tiny BGN is displayed in the upper right of your calculator.
