    This instruction sheet is for the TI-83 but applies to the TVM Solver on the right as well (ignore the reference to PMT:  End/Begin). The Compound Interest questions are for Lump Sum problems; the Present Value and Future Value questions are for annuities. For calculating mortgages, please refer to the instructions in your lesson.
