When we make
any investment or do fixed deposit or any recurring deposit (RD) or take an
insurance policy. We want to know/calculate how much amount we get after
maturity/due date.
- It is very easy to calculate the total amount after maturity by applying a simple formula. Below you can see a table in which the amount, rate % and the time period is given.
- By applying formula =FV(Rate,Nper,Pmt,,1) here one stand for beginning of the period. After you type =FV you can see a description.
- Now we select all the figures according to the formula. As you can see below.
- Now a question arises here why the amount appear which minus sign and red colour. This is because your bank is receiving your money on your behalf and it will pay out this money at the end. And the accountant denotes this amount by red colour or negative sign.
