 $PV = PMT \times \left(\frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}\right$

Assume you have $500,000 in your 403b account and expect an average annual return of 5%. If you plan to receive payouts over 20 years, the calculator helps estimate the monthly or annual withdrawal amounts.

Variable	Description
$PV$	Present Value of the 403(b) payout
$PMT$	Periodic payment amount
$r$	Interest rate per period
$n$	Number of payment periods

Solved Calculation:

Example 1:

Given:

$PMT = 1,000$ dollars
$r = 0.05$ (5% annual rate)
$n = 20$ periods

Step	Calculation
Substitute values	$PV = 1,000 \times \left(\frac{1 – (1 + 0.05)^{-20}}{0.05}\right)$
Result	$PV = 1,000 \times 12.4622$
Final answer	$PV = 12,462.2$

Answer: The present value of the 403(b) payout is $12,462.2.

Example 2:

Given:

$PMT = 2,500$ dollars
$r = 0.04$ (4% annual rate)
$n = 30$ periods

Step	Calculation
Substitute values	$PV = 2,500 \times \left(\frac{1 – (1 + 0.04)^{-30}}{0.04}\right)$
Result	$PV = 2,500 \times 17.2926$
Final answer	$PV = 43,231.5$

Answer: The present value of the 403(b) payout is $43,231.5.
