What is PVIFA?

The Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity (PVIFA) is a multiplier used in finance to quickly calculate the present value of a series of equal, regular future cash flows (an ordinary annuity).

The formula

PVIFA = [1 − (1 + r)−n] / r, where r is the discount rate per period and n is the number of periods. Multiplying PVIFA by the periodic payment amount gives the total present value of the annuity.
