Present value (PV) is a financial concept that refers to the current worth of a sum of money or stream of cash flows that will be received or paid in the future, discounted back to the present using a specific interest rate. The idea behind present value is that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future due to the potential earning capacity of money, which is often referred to as the time value of money.
