§01What is
Understanding the PV Annuity Table
The PV Annuity Table computes PVIFA from 2 inputs: rate (%), periods. PVIFA table.
Quick calculators for the math that shouldn’t need a notepad — instant, accurate, private to your browser.
The PV Annuity Table sits in that toolkit — it PVIFA table. Enter your numbers above and the result updates instantly; every step of the math is shown in the Derivation panel so you can see exactly how the answer was reached.
Apply the formula to a realistic set of inputs: Rate (%) = 5, Periods = 10.
01Start by noting the input — Rate (%): 5.
02Start by noting the input — Periods: 10.
03Substitute these values into the formula: {let t=e.r,a=e.n;return(1-(1+t / 100)^(-a)) / (t / 100)}
04Compute PVIFA: the calculator returns 7.72173.
05Cross-check the answer by opening the Derivation panel above — every line of math is shown so you can follow the computation end-to-end.

Common PV Annuity Table Problems
The formula gets rearranged depending on which variable you need. Here are the patterns you’ll run into in the real world — find the one that matches your problem and follow the worked steps.
01 · PATTERN
Rate (%) halved
r = 2.5 (from 5)
Keep every other input at its default and halve the rate (%). See how pvifa responds.
01New Rate (%): 2.5
02Baseline PVIFA: 7.72173
03New PVIFA: 8.75206
04PVIFA increases by 13.3% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
02 · PATTERN
Rate (%) doubled
r = 10 (from 5)
Keep every other input at its default and double the rate (%). See how pvifa responds.
01New Rate (%): 10
02Baseline PVIFA: 7.72173
03New PVIFA: 6.14457
04PVIFA decreases by 20.4% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
03 · PATTERN
Periods halved
n = 5 (from 10)
Keep every other input at its default and halve the periods. See how pvifa responds.
01New Periods: 5
02Baseline PVIFA: 7.72173
03New PVIFA: 4.32948
04PVIFA decreases by 43.9% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
04 · PATTERN
Periods doubled
n = 20 (from 10)
Keep every other input at its default and double the periods. See how pvifa responds.
01New Periods: 20
02Baseline PVIFA: 7.72173
03New PVIFA: 12.4622
04PVIFA increases by 61.4% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
