Number of Periods Required

Processing...

The Number of Periods Required calculator computes the number of periods (months) required for a Present Value to compound at a fixed interest rate to reach a specified Future Value.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(PV) Present Value, initial value prior to compounding interest.
(FV) Future Value, ending value after compounding interest.
(i) Annual Fixed Interest Rate - interest rate is entered as percentage; i.e., enter 4.5 for a 4.5% interest rate.

Number of Periods (n): The calculator returns the number of months required. However, the can be automatically converted into other duration units (e.g. years, weeks or days) via the pull-down menu.
