The 

 key cannot be used to convert a completed calculation.  It should 

be used to set the mode before the calculation is begun. 

The financial section of the calculator performs Time Value of Money (TVM) calculations for 

compound interest that involve regular, uniform cash flows.  

A calculation must meet several prerequisites in order to use the financial functions successfully: 

•  The amount of each payment must be the same. 

•  Payments must occur at regular intervals. 

•  The payment period must coincide with the interest compounding period. 

•  There must be at least one positive and one negative cash flow. 

 

A negative sign in the display represents money paid out; money received is positive. 

To set a value for a variable, enter it and then tap the corresponding key. If a value is already 

present, it is replaced with the new one. 

Example: To set the number of payments to 50, tap 50 

.  

To review a previously set value, tap the 

 key once and then the value key.  

To clear all set values, tap the 

 key twice. 

Switch between calculating at the beginning or end of the period by tapping the 

 key. 

Once five values are set you can tap a sixth to calculate it.  

 

 

The number of payments or compounding periods. 

 

The annual nominal interest rate 

 

The present value of future cash flows. PV is usually an initial investment or loan 

amount. It occurs at the beginning of the first period. 

 

The payment amount. All payments are equal, and none are skipped; payments 

occur at the beginning or end of each period.
