5.4 Annuity due
Annuity due is an annuity whose periodic payments are paid at the beginning of each payment period. The term of an annuity due starts at the time of the first payment and ends one payment period after the date of the last payment. This can be illustrated as figure below.
Annuity due also known as annuities payable in advance and normally arise in respect of insurance premiums, rents, etc.
We know that the future value of the payments at the end of the (n − 1)th period is R
. We then accumulate it for 1 interest period, to obtain the future value of an annuity due, 
at the end of the term as;
Future value, 
While the present value of the payments one period before the first payment is R
. To obtain the present value of an annuity due, R
(i.e. on the date of the first payment), we accumulate R for one interest period so that:
Present value, = R
