TVM Calculators


Welcome to actionList.Pro's collection of time value of money calculators.


  • Time value of money (TVM) calculations offer unique insights into financial decision making.
  • TVM is the fundamental principle in finance that describes how a payment's present or future value responds to changes in the time period over which it is discounted or compounded.
  • Advanced TVM principles build on fundamental TVM principles to include payment frequency, intra-period payment timing, payment growth, compounding / discounting frequency, inflation, risk and tax considerations.
  • Use the left and right arrows (or dots at the bottom of this slideshow panel) to discover and access specific TVM calculators, and deepen your financial insights.

Tips and Hints


  • Calculator use is subject to actionList.Pro's Terms of Use Agreement and Privacy Policy. They do not convey investment advice.
  • Mouseover or click on the "i" symbols next to the input fields for a description of requirements for that field.
  • Use percentages for rate inputs. E.g., For 1.50%, use 1.5 or 1.50, but not 0.015.
  • Where applicable, use unit conventions consistently. E.g., If $10 is chosen to represent $10 million, continue using that convention.
  • Results are delivered in a popup window.
  • Use actionList.Pro's contact form to ask questions, and report bugs or errors.
  • Enjoy!
