The TYM Menu
The time value of money (TVM) menu is used for certain compound
interest calculations. Specifically, use the TVM menu when there is a

of cash flows (money received or money paid) and:

The dollar amount is the same for each payment.*
• The cash flows occur at regular intervals.
•
Payments coincide with the compounding periods.
