The Financial Planner's Toolkit
As a financial planner, you will be doing a lot of mathematical calculations for your clients. Doingthese calculations for a large number of years is very tricky and difficult if you do not use the correcttools. It is recommended that you use either computer spreadsheet software like MS Excel or a financial
calculator to do these calculations.
Basic Concepts of Time Value of Money
Money today is more valuable than money in future. This is because when you forego spending money
at present, you can earn interest on it. Interest can be considered to be the rent for money. When you
give your house to somebody to live in, you get some money as rent. Similarly, when you deposit your
money with somebody, you get interest as rent.
Interest is expressed as a rate or percentage. The amount of interest that you receive is determined by
multiplying the time for which you deposit the money with the rate of interest and with the amount of
money that you deposit. So the future value of your money is calculated as below:
Future Value = Original Amount Deposited + Interest on the original amount
The original amount that you deposit is referred to as the Principal. Since it is the amount that you have
at present, it is also known as the Present Value.
Therfore the generalized formula for calculating interest is:
FV = PV + PV x R x T
Or FV = PV(1+R)T
Where,
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value
R = Rate of Interest
T = Time period
Interest can be calculated in two ways:
Simple InterestThis is when interest is calculated on the principal amount only.
SI = PV x R x T
Where,
SI = Simple Interest
R = Rate of Interest
T = Time period

Compound Interest
This is when the earned interest is also deposited alongwith the principal and you also receive interest on
interest. To illustrate, if you deposit Rs. 100 for 2 years at an interest rate of 8% p.a., then after one year,
the interest you will earn would be:
100 x 8% = Rs. 8For the next year, you will not only earn interest on Rs. 100 but also on the interest that you earned in the
first year Rs. 8 i.e. you will earn interest on Rs. 108.
108 x 8% = Rs. 8.64
The generalized formula for calculating future value at compound interest can be stated as below:
FV = PV(1+ R)T
Let us now look at various scenarios where you may be required to calculate present value and future value.
A Single Cash Flow
Future Value of a Single Cash Flow
The future value of a single cash flow with simple interest is given by:
FV = PV(1+r)t
Where,
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value
r = Rate of Interest
t = Time period
The future value of a single cash flow with compound interest is given by:
FV =PV (1+r)t
Where,
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value
r = Rate of Interest
t = Time period
MS Excel
The Excel FV function can be used to find out the future value of a single cash flow. The FV function is:
= FV(RATE,NPER,PMT,PV,TYPE)
Where,
RATE is the interest rate for the period;
NPER is the number of periods;
PMT is the equal payment or annuity each period;
PV is the present value of the initial payment; and
TYPE indicates the timing of the cash flow, occuring either in the beginning or at the end of the period.

51Financial Planning HandbookPDP
The PMT and TYPE parameters are used while dealing with annuities.
Note:
The initial payment is a cash outflow, while the future value is a cash inflow for the investors. Accordingly,
we need to treat the initial payment as negative in value.

Present Value of a Single Cash Flow
The present value of a single cash flow is given by:
PV = FV / (1+r)t
Where,
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value
r = Rate of Interest
t = Time period
MS Excel
We can find the present value of a single cash flow in Excel by using the built-in PV function:
= PV (RATE, NPER, PMT, FV, TYPE)
Suppose that a firm deposits Rs. 22,000 for eight
years at 12 per cent rate of interest. How much would
this sum accumulate to at the end of the eight year?
F8= PV x (1+i)n = 22,000 x (1+0.12)8 = Rs. 54,471.19
In column B7 we write the formula:
=FV (B4,B3,0,-B2,0). FV of Rs. 54,471.19 is the same
as calculated above.

Suppose that an investor wants to find out the
present value of Rs. 25,000 to be received after
13 years. Her interest rate is 9 per cent.
We enter in column B5 the formula:
= PV (B4,B3,0,-B2,0).
We enter negative sign for FV; that is B2. This
is done to avoid getting the negative value for
PV.
You can also find the present value by directly
using the formula
PV = FV xl
(l + i)n
The function is similar to FV function except the change in places for PV and FV. We use the values of
parameters as given in the following illustration:

Future Value of an Annuity
An Annuity represents a series of equal payments (or receipts) occurring over a specified number of
equidistant periods.
Ordinary Annuity
Payments or receipts occur at the end of each period.

A = Annual Payment Amount
i = interest
n = number of years
The future value of an annuity due is given by:
FVADn = FVAn (1+i)

The Excel FV function for an annuity is the same as for a single cash flow. Here, we are given value for
PMT instead of PV. We will set a value with negative sign for PMT (annuity) and a zero value for PV. We
use the values for the parameters as given in the following illustration:

Suppose that a firm deposits Rs. 3,000 at the
end of each year for six years at 3 per cent rate
of interest. How much would this annuity
accumulate at the end of the sixth year?
F6
= 3,000 (FVA6, 0.03
) = 3,000 x 6.4684 = Rs.
19,405.23
In column C6 we write the formula:
= FV (B5,B4,-B3, 0, 0). FV of Rs. 19,405.23 is
the same as in the illustration.
Instead of the built-in Excel function, we can
also directly use the formula below to find the
future value:

Annuity of a Future Value (Sinking Fund)
In the previous example, we had seen that Rs. 3,000 deposited for a period of 6 years at 3% accumulates
to Rs. 19,405. However, if we wish to calculate the opposite that is the value of annual payments that
will accumulate to Rs. 19,405 in 6 years at 3%, then the formula is given by:
Where
FVA = Future Value of AnnuityA = Annual Payment Amount
i = interest
n = number of years
MS Excel
The Excel function for finding an annuity for a given future amount is as follows:
= PMT (RATE, NPER, PV, FV, TYPE)
We use the values for the parameters as given in the following illustration:
Suppose that a firm earns Rs. 19,405 at the end
of for five years at 6 per cent rate of interest.
What is the annuity (PMT) of this value?
In column B6 we write the formula:
= FV (B5,B4,B2,-B3,0).
Note that we input both FV and PV and enter
negative sign for PMT. The value of PMT is Rs.
3,442.38.
Instead of the built-in Excel function, we can enter
formula:

Perpetuity
A perpetuity is an infinite annuity. In a perpetuity, the annual cash flows continue forever. The present
value of a perpetuity is given by:
PV = a/r
Where
PV = Present Value
a = Annual Payment Amount
r = interest rate
The concept of perpetuity finds application in case of stock valuation. Stocks are valued at present value
of their expected earnings. For example, suppose a company is expected to earn Rs. 5 every year. If the
discount rate is 10% then the value of the stock would be:
Price of Stock = PV of earnings = 5/0.10 = Rs. 50
Growing Perpetuity
The present value of a perpetuity that grows at a constant rate of g% is given by:
PV = a/(r-g)
7/30/2019 Ifp 8 the Financial Planner s Toolkit
12/15
59Financial Planning HandbookPDP
Where
PV = Present Value
a = Annual Payment Amount
r = interest rate
g = growth rate of annual payments
To illustrate, a company expects to earn Rs. 5 per share in this year and expects its earnings per share (eps)
to grow at a rate of 6% every year. If the discount rate is 10%, then the current price of the share would be:
Price = 5 / (10-6) = 5/0.04 = Rs. 125
This formula also enables us to understand the PE Ratio in terms of the growth rate of earnings.
PE Ratio = Price per share / Earnings per share
Or
Where
P0
= Current Stock Price
e0= Current Earnings per share
g = earnings growth rate
r = discount rate
Different Periods of Compounding
The future value depends a lot on the way the interest is compounded. Interest may be compounded
once a year or more frequently like semi-annually, quarterly, monthly or even daily. In such cases, the
future value is given by:
7/30/2019 Ifp 8 the Financial Planner s Toolkit
13/15
60 Financial Planning Handbook PDP
Where
FVn
= Future Value after n periods
r = rate of interest per period
n = number of periods
m = number of times of compounding per period
PV0
= Present Value at start of period 0
Exercise:
Let us see the effect of compounding at different periodicity:
Comparison of different compounding periods for Rs. 1000 invested for 2 Years at an annual interest rate
of 12%.
Annual FV2
= 1,000(1+ [.12/1])(1)(2 = 1,254.40
Semi FV2 = 1,000(1+ [.12/2])(2)(2)
= 1,262.48Qrtly FV
2= 1,000(1+ [.12/4])(4)(2) = 1,266.77
Monthly FV2= 1,000(1+ [.12/12])(12)(2) = 1,269.73
Daily FV2= 1,000(1+[.12/365])(365)(2) = 1,271.20
Therefore, you can see that although the stated rate of interest is 12% in each case, the results are
significantly different. The stated rate is also known as Annual Percentage Rate, APR. The Effective
Annual Rate, EAR, is the rate if there was compounding only once per period; it is true effective rate.
The relation between APR and EAR is given by:
If the compounding period is made infinitely small, it is known as continuous compounding. The EAR for
continuous compounding is given by:
Yield or IRR Calculation
MS Excel
Excel has built-in functions for calculating the yield or IRR of an annuity and uneven cash flows. The
Excel function to find the yield or IRR of an annuity is:
= RATE (NPER, PMT, PV, FV, TYPE, GUESS)
GUESS is a first guess rate. It is optional; you can specify your formula without it.
7/30/2019 Ifp 8 the Financial Planner s Toolkit
14/15
61Financial Planning HandbookPDP
The Excel built-in function IRR calculates the yield or IRR of uneven cash flows:
IRR (VALUES, GUESS)
The values for the cash flows should be in a sequence, starting from the cash outflow.
GUESS is a first guess rate (arbitrary) and it is optional. In the worksheet, we have entered the cash
flows of an investment project. In column B4 we enter the formula: = IRR (B3:G3) to find yield (IRR).
Note that all cash flows in year 0 to year 5 have been created in that sequence. The yield (IRR) is27.43 per cent.
You can also use the built-in function, NPV, in Excel to calculate the net present value of an investmentwith uneven cash flows. Assume in the present example that the discount rate is 20per cent. You can enter in column B5 the NPV formula: = NPV (0.20, C3:G3) +B3. The net presentvalue is Rs. 21,850. If you do not enter +B3 for the value of the initial cash outflow, you will get thepresent value of cash inflows (from year 1 through year 5), and not the net present value.
In column C6 we enter the formula: = RATE (C5,
C4, C2, 0, 0, 0.10). The last value 0.10 is the
guess rate, which you may omit to specify. For
investment with an outlay of Rs. 20,000 and
earning an annuity of Rs. 5,000 for 8 years, the
yield is 18.62 per cent.

Impact of Tax and Inflation
In the previous examples, we have considered the rate of interest without adjusting for tax or inflation. In
real life both of these factors reduce the real rate of return that an investor gets.

1. Naina is 22 years old. She has recently started her work. Naina is working with an educational
institute and she has been trained to counsel students. Day in and day out, she talks to young
people about the careers and goals and where they want to be in life. This set her thinking in terms
of her future.
Her aspiration levels increased and she herself wanted to study further. She knew her potential and she
was getting educated on the job market and her areas of interest. After doing the initial research, she
concluded that she wanted to study abroad. However, as is well known, a 22 year old doesnt have a
lot of money in her kitty. Also she knew that her parents could not take the burden of such a loan. She
decided that she would need to plan for fulfilling this dream of hers. She calculated the amount to be
Rs. 15 Lakhs. She wanted to have saved up Rs. 15 Lakhs in 8 years time. The average market return
is about 10%pa. How much would she need to invest to get Rs. 15 Lakhs in 8 years?
Also, if Naina invests in yearly installments rather than a one time proposition, how much will she
have to invest each year, so that she will have Rs. 15 Lakhs corpus at the end of 8 years at a 10%
rate of return.
2. Let us assume that an investor invests Rs. 1000 at 12% for a period of one year. Let us assume
inflation to be 6% and the tax rate to be 30%. The real return that the investor gets is calculated as
below:
Therefore the formula for finding the real rate of return is:
Real Rate = I(1-T) R
Where
I = interest rate received
T = tax rate
R = rate of inflation
Amount Invested Rs. 1000
Rate of Interest 12%
Time Period 1 year
Interest received Rs. 120
Tax Rate 30%
Amount payable as tax Rs. 36
Amount after tax Rs. 84
Inflation Rate 6%
Amount Lost due to Inflation Rs. 60
Interest after tax adjusted for inflation Rs. 24
Effective Rate 2.4%
