Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah gets paid every month for twenty years straight
Same amount landing, compound interest can't wait
Present value whispers what it's worth today
Discount each payment, watch the magic display
Ordinary annuity, payments at the end
Future value climbs as time extends

[Chorus]
PMT times the factor, don't forget the rate
One minus one plus i to the negative n, calculate
Divide by i for present, multiply for future state
Annuities due shift forward, don't be late
Payment streams forever, perpetuity's gate
Just PMT over i, sealed by fate

[Verse 2]
Annuity due means payments start right now
First installment hits before the year's bow
Add one period to your calculation dance
Present value higher with this advance
Car lease, rent deposits, insurance paid ahead
Beginning payments boost what's truly spread

[Chorus]
PMT times the factor, don't forget the rate
One minus one plus i to the negative n, calculate
Divide by i for present, multiply for future state
Annuities due shift forward, don't be late
Payment streams forever, perpetuity's gate
Just PMT over i, sealed by fate

[Bridge]
Perpetual dividends from preferred stock shares
Endless scholarship funds, university cares
No maturity date, payments never cease
Formula simplified brings financial peace
Growing perpetuity adds a twist
Subtract growth rate, can't be missed

[Verse 3]
Time value of money rules every stream
Compounding frequencies fulfill the dream
Monthly, quarterly, annually we calculate
Interest factors determine payment fate
Excel functions PVIFA, FVIFA
Spreadsheet shortcuts make the numbers clearer

[Chorus]
PMT times the factor, don't forget the rate
One minus one plus i to the negative n, calculate
Divide by i for present, multiply for future state
Annuities due shift forward, don't be late
Payment streams forever, perpetuity's gate
Just PMT over i, sealed by fate

[Outro]
Financial planning built on payment streams
Present future values fulfill accounting dreams
