The present value of R1 table shows the present value of a single amount of R1 for a given number of periods at different interest rates.
The table provides the present value of R1 for 1 to 60 periods at interest rates ranging from 1% to 25%.

Present Value of a Regular Annuity of R1

The present value of a regular annuity of R1 table shows the present value of a series of R1 payments made at the end of each period for a given number of periods at different interest rates.
The table provides the present value of a regular annuity of R1 for 1 to 60 periods at interest rates ranging from 1% to 25%.
The present value of a regular annuity of R1 is the sum of the present values of each individual payment of R1.

Key Observations

As the number of periods increases, the present value of R1 and the present value of a regular annuity of R1 both decrease.
As the interest rate increases, the present value of R1 and the present value of a regular annuity of R1 both decrease.
The present value of a regular annuity of R1 is higher than the present value of R1 for the same number of periods and interest rate, because it takes into account the series of payments made over time.
