The Present Value Interest Factor of Annuity (PVIFA) is a key financial concept used to determine the current value of a stream of future annuity payments. Essentially, it answers a critical question: What is the present value of a series of future monetary receipts? The PVIFA formula provides a swift method to compute this.
Let’s delve into the PVIFA formula:
PVIFA = (1 – (1 + r)^(-n)) / r
In this formula, ‘r’ represents the annual interest rate, and ‘n’ represents the number of periods. Understanding how these variables change based on the frequency of your annuity payments is crucial. For instance:
- Annual Payments: If you’re receiving money each year, ‘r’ remains the annual interest rate, and ‘n’ is the total number of years you’ll receive the payments.
- Semi-Annual Payments: Should your payments be semi-annual, you need to adjust ‘r’ to reflect a semi-annual rate. Similarly, ‘n’ should be recalculated as the total number of half-year periods, which is essentially the number of years multiplied by 2.
- Monthly Payments: In cases where payments are made monthly, ‘r’ should be converted to a monthly interest rate. Accordingly, ‘n’ becomes the total number of months over which you’ll receive the annuity.
Here is the complete PVIFA Table:

PVIFA Table Use Case
Imagine you are receiving an annual payment of $1,000 for 10 years, and the prevailing interest rate is 5% per annum. We employ the Present Value Interest Factor of Annuity (PVIFA) to understand the current cash flow’s current value.
The formula to calculate the present value of an annuity is quite straightforward:
Present Value of Annuity = Regularly Received Payment × PVIFA
In this scenario, where the annual interest rate (r) is 5% and the number of years (n) is 10, we apply these values to the formula. Alternatively, you can refer to the PVIFA table. In either case, the PVIFA is found to be 7.7217. Consequently, the present value of the annuity is calculated as follows:
Present Value = $1,000 × 7.7217 = $7,721.7
This figure, $7,721.7, represents the current value of receiving $1,000 annually for the next 10 years, accounting for an annual interest rate of 5%. Understanding this concept is crucial for making informed financial decisions regarding investments and the valuation of future cash flows.
