npm install financejs --save
or
var Finance = require('financejs');
var finance = new Finance();
// To calculate Amortization
finance.AM(20000, 7.5, 5, 0);
// => 400.76
### Typescript
import { Finance } from 'financejs'
let finance = new Finance();
// To calculate Amortization
finance.AM(20000, 7.5, 5, 0);
// => 400.76
npm test
finance.AM(principal, rate, total number of payments, [type]);
Amortization is the paying off of debt with a fixed repayment schedule in regular installments over a period of time.1
For total number of payments which are entered as years, [type] takes a 0, whereas for months [type] takes a 1.
#Total Number of Payments Type = Years
// e.g., If principal is $20,000, rate is 7.5%, total number of payments is 5, and payment type is 0 (years), monthly payment is $400.76. finance.AM(20000, 7.5, 5, 0);
=> 400.76
#Total Number of Payments Type = Months
// e.g.,If principal is $20,000, rate is 7.5%, total number of payments is 60, and payment type is 1 (months), monthly payment is $400.76.
finance.AM(20000, 7.5, 60, 1);
=> 400.76
finance.CAGR(beginning value, ending value, number of periods);
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the year-over-year growth rate of an investment over a specified period of time.2
// e.g., If the beginning value is $10,000, the ending value is $19,500, and the number of periods is 3, the CAGR is 24.93%. finance.CAGR(10000, 19500, 3);
=> 24.93
finance.CI(rate, compoundings per period, principal, number of periods);
Compound Interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods of a deposit or loan.3
// e.g., If rate is 4.3%, the compoundings per period is 4, the principal is $1,500, and the number of periods is 6, the compound interest is $1,938.84. finance.CI(4.3, 4, 1500, 6 );
=> 1938.84
finance.DF(rate, number of periods);
The Discount Factor (DF) is the factor by which a future cash flow must be multiplied in order to obtain the present value.4
// e.g., If rate is 10% and the number of periods is 6, the result is an array of discount factors: [1, 0.91, 0.827, 0.752, 0.684]. finance.DF(10, 6);
=> [1, 0.91, 0.827, 0.752, 0.684]
finance.FV(rate, cash flow, number of periods);
Future Value (FV) is the value of an asset or cash at a specified date in the future that is equivalent in value to a specified sum today5
// e.g., If rate is 0.5%, cash flow is $1,000, and the number of periods is 12, the FV is $1,061.68. finance.FV(0.5, 1000, 12);
=> 1061.68
finance.IRR(initial investment, [cash flows]);
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate often used in capital budgeting that makes the net present value of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero.6
// e.g., If initial investment is -$500,000 and the cash flows are $200,000, $300,000, and $200,000, IRR is 18.82%. finance.IRR(-500000, 200000, 300000, 200000);
=> 18.82
finance.XIRR([cash flows], [dates], guess);
XIRR is used to determine the Internal Rate of Return when the cash flows are at Irregular intervals.15
// e.g., If the cash flows are -$1,000 on 1st Nov 2015, -$100 on 01 Jul 2016 and $1,200 on 19 Jul 2016, the XIRR is 14.11%. finance.XIRR([-1000, -100, 1200],[new Date(2015, 11, 1 ), new Date(2016, 7, 1 ), new Date(2016, 7, 19 )],0 );
=> 14.11
finance.LR(total liabilities, total debts, total income);
Leverage Ratio (LR) is used to calculate the financial leverage of a company or individual to get an idea of the methods of financing or to measure ability to meet financial obligations.7
// e.g., If total liabilities are $25, total debts are $10, and total income is $20, the leverage ratio is 1.75. finance.LR(25, 10, 20);
=> 1.75
finance.NPV(rate, initial investment, [cash flows]);
Net Present Value (NPV) compares the money received in the future to an amount of money received today, while accounting for time and interest [through the discount rate]. It's based on the principal of time value of money (TVM), which explains how time affects monetary value.8
[cash flows] takes any number of projected cash flows.
// e.g., If discount rate is 10%, initial investment is -$1,000, cash flow in year 1 is $200,000, year 2 is $300,000, and year 3 is $200,000, the NPV is $80,015.03. finance.NPV(10, -500000, 200000, 300000, 200000);
=> 80015.03
finance.PP(number of periods, [cash flows]);
Payback Period (PP) is the length of time required to recover the cost of an investment.9
number of periods takes a 0 value for even cash flows;
for uneven cash flows, number of periods takes any number of projected periods.
[cash flows] takes any number of projected cash flows.
#Even Cash Flows
// e.g., Because even cash flows have the same inflow during each period, we set 'number of periods' to '0.' If initial investment is -$105 and the annual cash flow is $25, the payback period is 4.2 years. finance.PP(0, -105, 25);
=> 4.2
#Uneven Cash Flows
// e.g., If number of periods is 5, initial investment is -$50, and the cash flows are $10, $13, $16, $19, and $22 for each year, the payback period is 3.42 years.
finance.PP(5, -50, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22);
=> 3.42
finance.PV(rate, cash flow, number of periods);
Present Value (PV) is the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return.10
number of periods is optional and defaults to 1.
// e.g., If rate is 5% and cash flow is $100, the PV is $95.24. finance.PV(5, 100);
=> 95.24
// e.g., If rate is 5%, cash flow is $100, and number of periods is 5, the PV is $78.35.
finance.PV(5, 100);
=> 95.24
finance.PI(rate, initial investment, [cash flows]);
Profitability Index (PI) is an index that attempts to identify the relationship between the costs and benefits of a proposed project through the use of a ratio calculated.11
[cash flows] takes any number of projected cash flows.
// e.g., If rate is 10%, initial investment is -$40,000, cash flows are $18,000, $12,000, $10,000, $9,000, and $6,000, PI is 1.09. finance.PI(10, -40000, 18000, 12000, 10000, 9000, 6000);
=> 1.09
finance.ROI(initial investment, earnings);
Return on Investment (ROI) is a simple calculation that tells you the bottom line return of any investment.12
// e.g., If initial investment is -$55,000 and the earnings are $60,000, the return on investment is 9.09%. finance.ROI(-55000, 60000);
=> 9.09
finance.R72(rate);
Rule of 72 (R72) is a rule stating that in order to find the number of years required to double your money at a given interest rate, you divide the compound return into 72.13
// e.g., If annual rate is 10%, rule of 72 is 7.2 years. finance.R72(10);
=> 7.2
finance.WACC(market value of equity, market value of debt, cost of equity, cost of debt, tax rate);
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets.14
// e.g., If market value of equity is $600,000, market value of debt is $400,000, cost of equity is 6%, cost of debt is 5%, and tax rate is 35%, WACC is 4.9%. finance.WACC(600000, 400000, 6, 5, 35);
=> 4.9
finance.PMT(fractional interest rate, number of payments, principal);
Payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate
finance.PMT(0.02,36,-1000000);
=> 39232.8526
finance.IAR(investment Return, inflation Rate);
Measure the return taking into account the time period's inflation rate
finance.IAR(0.08, 0.03)
