Time is money … nowhere is this commonly heard phrase more true than in the area of finance, because in financial terms, time equals interest earned or interest paid.
Money received today is worth more than money received in the future, because money received today can be immediately invested and a return, in the form of interest received, can start to accumulate.
This publication examines the arithmetic used in determining the time value of money and the numerous ways in which time, and the accumulation of interest within that time, can affect the future value of money borrowed or invested.
