Frequently asked questions
- What is present value?
- Present value (PV) is the current worth of a future sum of money, given a specific rate of return. Because money can earn interest, $100 today is worth more than $100 in the future.
- What discount rate should I use?
- Use your expected investment return rate (e.g., 7% for a stock portfolio) or the opportunity cost of your capital. For risk-free comparisons, use the current Treasury rate.
