| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Syntax      | PV (Real Rate, Real NPer, Real Pmt, Real FV)                                                                                                               |
| Purpose     | To return the present value of an annuity based on periodic, fixed payments to be paid in the future and a fixed interest rate.                            |
| Description | Returns the present value of an annuity based on periodic, fixed payments to be paid in the future and a fixed interest rate. Also considers Future Value. |
| Return Type | Double                                                                                                                                                     |
| Parameters  | <p>Rate \[System.Double]</p><p>NPer \[System.Double]</p><p>Pmt \[System.Double]</p><p>FV \[System.Double]</p>                                              |

### **Example**

In this example, we will be passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*Rate* = 0.25

*NPer* = 100

*Pmt* = 350000

*FV* = 100

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* You can see that Astera Data Stack has applied the PV function, and returned the present value, taking into account the specified Future Value.
