future value
Investment's eventual amount
Future value is what an investment or sum of money will be worth at a specified time, assuming a particular rate of growth or interest.
The concept is fundamental to finance—comparing future value to present value helps determine whether investments are worthwhile: At 7% annual return, the future value of $10,000 in twenty years is nearly $40,000.
