The value of money in the future can be calculated to Present Value or Present Worth with the "discount rate" as

P = F / (1 + i)n         (1)

where

F = future cash flow (positive for receipts, negative for disbursements)

P = present value

i = discount rate

n = number of interest periods

The factor "1 / (1 + i)n" is known as the "single payment present worth factor".
