Introduction

Financial planning refers to the practice of putting together a plan for the future of the individual. The future value of the amount includes the amount being deposited and also the amount of interest being accumulated over the period of time. It helps individuals in managing their finances and prepare for all of the potential costs and issues that may arise in the future.
