    100USD in five year = 100USD/(1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1) today

    With the help of discount rate we present value of money.
    for example if we have 10% discount rate and we want to calculate present of 1000$ in two year.
    solution:- 1000*(1+0.10)^(-3) =751.315
    10% =0.10
    present value of 1000 in 4years?
    solution:- 1000*(1+0.10)^(-4) =683.01

    In calculating Discount Factor,the below formular can be applied
    P*1/(1+r)^n where r=rate, n=number of years and P=principal.So for example if you want to find the value $500 in 3years time,then it will be =500*1/(1+0.1)^3=
    500*0.75=$375.66

    Small error in naumaniqrar’s post – he has said “in two years” but his calculation is for “in three years”
