3.Example of the Annuity Due Payment Formula Using Present Value
An example of the annuity due payment formula using present value would be an individual who would like to calculate the amount they can withdraw once per year in order to allow their savings to last 5 years. Suppose their current balance, which would be the present value, is $5,000 and the effective rate on the savings account is 3%.
It is important to remember that the individual's balance on their account will reach $0 after the 4th year or more specifically, the beginning of the 5th year, however the amount withdrawn will last the entire year composing a total of 5 years.
The equation for the annuity due payment formula using present value for this example would be:
