Introduction

The present value of annuity due refers to the current value of a series of future payments. The present value can be obtained by discounting the future values at a set interest rate. Investors use the present value of annuity formula to determine the amount they would require in the present period to receive a series of predetermined future payments. The primary difference between the present value of annuity due and the present value of ordinary annuity is the time of receiving the payment. Under the present value of annuity due, the payment is received at the beginning of the month whereas, under ordinary annuity, the payment is received at the end of the month.
