B Bernie Deitrick Sep 6, 2006 #2 See help on the FV function. When you enter teh interest rate, make sure that you divide the annual rate by 12 to get the monthly rate: =FV(8%/12,60,-100, -5000) will return the value of an annuity that is intially worth $5,000, you deposit $100 each month for five years, get an 8% APR.
