Calculation specification

Reviewed on:

Formula basis

The intended formula is PV=FV/(1+R)^n, passed to the common compound-principal function with annual compounding.

Calculation method

The implementation is intended to discount future value to present value using annual compounding.

Exclusions and checks required

  • The current form exposes presentValue and ratePct while execution reads futureValue and rate, so valid output is blocked by a known field mismatch.
  • The model assumes a constant annual discount rate and excludes tax, fees, interim cash flows, and risk adjustment.

Example input:：The current form's JPY 1 million, 5%, and 5-year inputs

presentValue
1000000
ratePct
5
years
5

These are the actual displayed field keys, but their mismatch with execution remains unfixed.
