<h2>Time Value of Money</h2>
<p>This screen lets you calculate the time value of money, i.e.
given an initial amount, an interest rate, and an amount of time,
you can calculate how much money will result. You can also do
what-if scenarios; for example, given a desired amount, how much
do you need to invest now.</p>
<p><strong>Example: </strong>If you invest $10,000 at 5% for 10
years, how much money will you have? Enter <strong>5</strong>,
then press the <strong>Annual Rate</strong> button. Enter <strong>10000</strong>,
then press the <strong>Principal</strong> button. Enter <strong>10</strong>,
then tap the <strong>Years</strong> button. Now, press the <strong>?</strong>
button to the right of the <strong>Future Value</strong> button.
The value next to <strong>Future Value</strong> shows you'll have
$16288.95</p>
<p><strong>Example: </strong>Given the above example, how much do
you need to put away now to get $20,000 in 10 years, at 5%? Enter
<strong>20000</strong>, then tap the <strong>Future Value</strong>
button. Now tap the <strong>?</strong> button to the right of the
<strong>Principal</strong> button, and you'll see you need to
invest $12278.27.</p>
<p><strong>Example: </strong>How long will it take to turn
$10,000 into $20,000 at 5%? Enter <strong>10000, </strong>then
press the <strong>Principal</strong> button. Now press the <strong>?</strong>
button to the right of the <strong>Years</strong> button, and
you'll see it will take 14.21 years to double your money at 5%.</p>
<p><strong>Notes for this screen:</strong> The interest rate
compounds annually.</p>
