Definition:
A sequence of payments, generally equal in size, made at equal intervals of times is called an annuity.
Monthly Rent; premiums of LIC; deposit into a recurring account in a bank; equal monthly payments got by a retired government servant as pension and loan instalments to houses or automobiles etc.
Some terms related with annuities
Periodic Payment: The size of each payment of an annuity is called the periodic payment of the annuity.
Annual Rent: The sum of all payments of an annuity made in one year is called its annual rent.
Payment Period/Interval: The duration between two successive payments of an annuity is called the payment period (or payment interval) of the annuity.
Term: The total duration from the beginning time of the first payment period to the end of the last payment period is called the term of the annuity.
Amount of an Annuity: The total Value of all the payments at the maturity time of an annuity is called the amount (or future value) of the annuity.
Present Value of an Annuity: Sum of the present values of all the payments of an annuity is called the present value or capital value of the annuity.
TYPES OF ANNUITIES
Ordinary Annuity: If the payments of an annuity are made at the end of payment interval is called An Ordinary annuity or Regular annuity.
9.2 MATHEMATICS OF FINANCE - ANNUITY
Annuity Due: If the payments of an annuity are made at the beginning of payment interval is called An Annuity Due or Annuity Immediate.
Perpetuity: A perpetuity is an annuity whose payments continue forever.
Note: In what is to follow, it is understood that the payment interval coincides with the interest period unless statement to the contrary is made.
ORDINARY ANNUITY OR ANNUITY REGULAR
Definition: Payments of an annuity are made at the end of payment interval.
Type-I
(To Find Amount)
WhereS = Amount of an Annuity
A= Value of each instalment
r = rate of interest
m = No. of conversion periods in a year
n = m.t = No. of instalments made in t years. i = m r 100 = Rate of interest of one conversion Period
Calculator Trick:
Step - I Find (1 + i)n by calculator i.e. Type r 100 m + 1 Then push button then push = button (n - 1) times.
Step - II Then - 1
Step - III r 100m
Step - IV Then A push = button (We get the required value of Amount)
Example 1. Find the future value of an annuity of `500 is made annually for 7 years at interest rate of 14% compounded annually. [Given that (1.14) 7 = 2.5023] ( a ) `5365.25( b ) `5265.25( c ) `5465.25( d )None
Solution: Option ( a) is correct
Calculator Trick: (1)1 1005365.25 n i SA m r
Step-I Find 7 14 1
As Type 14 100 + 1 Push = button 6 times.
Step-II Type - 1 14 then 100 (Because it is annually)
Step-III Then 500 = (we get the result)
Example 2: `200 is invested at the end of each month in an account paying interest 6% per year compounded monthly. What is the future value of this annuity after 10th payment? Given that (1.005) 10 =1.0511
( a ) `2544( b ) `2144( c ) `2544( d )None
Solution: (a) is correct.
Here A = 200 ; r = 6% compounded monthly n = 10 = No. of payments.
Calculator Trick:
Step-I Type 6 1200 + 1 Then push button then push = button 9 times.
Step-II Type - 1 Then 6 1200
Step-III Then Type 200 = buttons we get the required amount.
Note: If (1 + i)n value is given in the question then use given value in the question otherwise answer may vary.
Type-II
To find the Value of Each Instalment
Example: If a bank pays 6% interest compounded quarterly what equal deposit have to be made at the end of the each quarter for 3 years if you want to have `1500 at the end of 3 years?
( a ) `117.86( b ) `115.01( c ) `150.50( d )None of these
9.4 MATHEMATICS OF FINANCE - ANNUITY
Solution: (b) is correct
A = ` 150.01
Calculator Trick:
Step-I Type 6 400 + 1 Then push button then push = buttons 11 times
Step-II Then push -1 6 400 buttons
Step-III Then push M+ button to save the typed value.
Step-IV Then type 1500 then button then push “MRC” button 2 times then push = button.
[we get the required result]
Type-III
(To find Present Value for Ordinary Annuity) PV = Present value =
) (1 1
Calculator Trick:
Step-I Type (1 + i) value then push ÷ button
Step-II Then push = buttons “n” times
Step-III Push GT button
Step-IV Then type A (value) then push = button
We get the required result.
Example: Find the present value of an annuity which pays 200 at the end of each 3 months for 10 years assuming money to be worth 5% converted quarterly?
( a ) `3473.86( b ) `3108.60( c ) `6265.38( d )None of these
Solution: Option (c) is correct
Here A = 200; m = 4; r = 5% 1/4 yearly
t = 10 years n = mt = 4 × 10 = 40 year PV = ?
Calculator Trick:
Step-I Type 5 400 + 1 then push button
Step-II Then push = buttons 40 times
Step-III Then Push GT button
Step-IV Then type 200 = buttons [We get the resulting value]
Type-IV
(To find instalment value if PV is given).
Example: Mr. A borrows 5,00,000 to buy a house.
If he pays equal instalments for 20 years and 10% interest on outstanding balance what will be the equal annual instalment?
( a ) `58239.84( b ) `58729.84( c ) `68729.84( d )None of these
Solution: (b) is correct
Here PV = `5,00,000; r = 10% yearly.
t = 20 years
n = 20; A = ?
Calculator Trick:
Step-I Type 10 100 + 1 then push ÷ button
Step-II Push = buttons 20 times
Step-III Then Push GT button
Step-IV Then M+ buttons to save the result.
Step-V Type 5,00,000 then push button then- MRC button 2 time and then = button.
(We get the required result)
Annuity Immediate/Due
Definition: An annuity due is an annuity the first payment of which is made at the beginning of the first payment interval.
9.6 MATHEMATICS OF FINANCE - ANNUITY
Type-V
(To find Amount)
FV = Amount
Calculator Trick (work as ordinary annuity)
Step-I Type r 100 m + 1 then push button
Step-II Push = buttons n + 1 - 1 = n times then push - 1 button then push button then push r value then push 100m value buttons.
Step-III Push - 1 button then button and then type A value & then push = button (we get the required result)

( c ) 8,756( d ) 9892.34
[Jan. 2021]
Solution: (a) is correct
= 8182








FV = A

[Calculator Tricks 6 ÷ 1200 + 1 × = 9 times –1 ÷ 6 × 1200 × 800 = button; we get 8182]

Where m = No. of conversion periods in 1 year = 1
n = No. of payments made = mt = n = 1 × 7 = 7
