Present Value of Cash Certificate Formula
$$A = \frac{P}{(1 + r)^n}$$
Where:
- $$A$$ = issue price or present value of the certificate
- $$P$$ = face value or maturity amount
- $$r$$ = annual interest rate (decimal)
- $$n$$ = number of years until maturity
Cash certificates, often structured as zero-coupon instruments, are issued at a discount and redeemed at face value. This calculator uses the present value formula to determine how much an investor would pay today to receive a specified amount in the future. It’s useful for planning fixed-income investments and comparing interest-based returns over different durations.
