Select a type of perpetuity below
A perpetuity provides you with a steady stream of cash payments of equal amount that you will receive indefinitely. Unlike an ordinary annuity, a perpetuity never ends (in theory).
Examples of growing perpetuities are stocks that pay dividends, or properties that are bought to provide a stream of income in the form of rent.
Our calculator helps you determine how much money you need to invest right now if you want to receive regular payments forever which grows at a fixed rate annually.
The formula for determining the present value of a growing perpetuity is defined as:
\(PV\): The lump sum you need to invest right now
\(payment_{{first}}\): The amount of the first payment you expect to receive or the minimum payment.
\(n\): the number of payments you want to receive each year. (max. 12 times a year, which means you are going to receive a payment every month)
\(rate\): the annual interest rate of the perpetuity or the discount rate
\(growth\): the rate at which your cashflow will grow
