Discounting one investment
This will calculate: if you know what a future sum will be, how much to pay for it today to earn a desired return.
Example: I would like to borrow money from you today and pay you back in 3 years from the sale of some stocks. How much will you loan me if you receive $50,000 in 3 years and you want a 15% return?
Please note: the result is a negative number because it is a cash outlay.
If I could also make equal monthly payments, use discounting a series with balloon instead.
Prefer to let the site do the arithmetic? Use the discounting one investment form.
