This type of annuity is called an annuity-due, which means payments are made at the beginning of each payment period. (Basically this is exactly the same way in which a savings account works.)
Taking an example from Wikipedia, if we make monthly payments of $100, in a 9% annuity-due, for 7 years, what is the annuity value?
First, click “MONTHLY” then click “TOTAL”, then enter a monthly amount of 100, for 7 years at 9% interest.
We click “CALCULATE” and our answer is $11,730.01.
