Annuities and TVM
Total Value of Money TVM is used for estimating the money that an individual will receive in future. The purpose of TVM is to delay the current use of money and invest it for gaining more value. The investor assumes that on keeping money in the bank he will receive a higher value to the interest rate added by the bank. TVM offers more utility to the consumer in future. The potential gain of the customer will increase with the interest rate. To calculate TVM the individual must consider the prevent and future value of the money. A simple example can be used for understanding the concept of TVM. If a person invests $10,000 at 10% interest rate, the money received in the future is $11,000. This indicates that the value of money has increased over time.
