Time value of money can be computed as that whose interest equals the annuity payment amount: Note that no money enters or leaves the combined system of endowment principal + accumulated annuity payments, and thus the future value of this system can be computed simply via the future value formula: Initially, before any payments, the present value of the system is just the endowment principal (formula_24). At the end, the future value is the endowment principal (which is the same) plus the future value of the total annuity payments (formula_25). Plugging this back into the equation: Without showing the formal derivation here, the perpetuity
