Example of Future Value Calculation
Let’s say you invest $10,000 in a savings account that earns 6% interest annually for 5 years. Here’s how you calculate the future value:
FV = 10,000 × (1 + 6/100)5 = 10,000 × (1.06)5 = $13,382.26
So, your investment will grow to $13,382.26 after 5 years with a 6% annual return.
