Google Sheets – Calculate Current Value of Compound Interest

formulasgoogle sheets

How can I calculate the current value of a sum deposited in a past date, with a fixed interest rate?

For example, if $1,000 were deposited on 1/1/2000 in an account which pays a 3% annual interest rate, how much would they be worth today?

COMPOUND INTEREST:

  • cell F6: =B6*(1+C6)^(YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()))
  • cell G6: =B6*(1+C6/4)^(4*YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()))
  • cell H6: =B6*(1+C6/12)^(12*YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()))
  • cell I6: =B6*(1+C6)^(ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()),0))
  • cell J6: =B6*(1+C6/4)^(4*ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()),0))
  • cell K6: =B6*(1+C6/12)^(12*ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(A6,TODAY()),0))

INTEREST MULTIPLIED BY YEARS:

  • up to today's date:

    =B2 + C2/100*B2 * YEARFRAC(A2; TODAY())

  • up to to the start of new anual period (eg. from 01.01.2000 to 31.12.2018):

    =B2 + C2/100*B2 * ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(A2; TODAY()); 0)
