TimeValue
Discount a future payment back to today's dollars — the core idea behind valuing bonds, settlements, and investments.
A dollar today can be invested and grow; a dollar promised in 10 years can't start growing until you receive it. The discount rate captures both that lost opportunity and inflation risk.
Use a higher discount rate for riskier or less certain future payments, and a lower rate for safe, guaranteed ones — the rate should reflect what you could safely earn elsewhere.
