Definition of FVSCHEDULE

Calculates the future value of some principal based on a specified series of potentially varying interest rates.

Sample Usage

FVSCHEDULE(10000,A2:A100)

FVSCHEDULE(10000,{0.1,0.95,0.9,0.85})

FVSCHEDULE(A2,B2:B20)

Syntax

FVSCHEDULE(principal, rate_schedule)

• principal - The amount of initial capital or value to compound against.

• rate_schedule - A series of interest rates to compound against the principal.

  • rate_schedule must be either a range or array containing the interest rates to compound, in sequence. These should be expressed either as decimals or as percentages using UNARY_PERCENT, i.e.0.09 or UNARY_PERCENT(9) rather than 9.
