About the Perpetuity Calculator

A perpetuity is a stream of equal payments that continues forever. Despite lasting infinitely, it has a finite present value because payments far in the future are discounted to almost nothing.

Formula: PV = Annual Payment ÷ Discount Rate

Perpetuities are used to value certain preferred stocks, some UK government bonds ("consols"), and as a simplified model for terminal value in company valuations.
