finance.retirement-annuity-present Calculator
Calculates the lump sum present value needed to fund a retirement annuity of a given annual income for a specified number of years. The annuity present value depends heavily on the discount rate assumed — a $50,000/year income for 25 years requires a $785K lump sum at 5% but $1.1M at 3%.
Inputs
Pmt
Time for one complete cycle (s). Period = 1 / frequency. A 50 Hz signal has a 20 ms period.
N
Time for one complete cycle (s). Period = 1 / frequency. A 50 Hz signal has a 20 ms period.
Rate
Rate used to bring future cash flows back to today's value. Higher rates make future money worth less — used in NPV, bond pricing, and valuation.
Type
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results

The combined total across all inputs and components.
