# Annuities and Perpetuities **Annuity**: A series of equal payments made at regular intervals for a *fixed period of time*. **Perpetuity**: A series of equal payments made at regular intervals that continue *forever* (no end date). ## Why It Matters These concepts are fundamental to finance because they allow us to calculate the present value of predictable cash flows—annuities value loans, mortgages, and retirement payments, while perpetuities value instruments like preferred stock dividends and endowments. The key difference (finite vs. infinite payments) dramatically affects valuation formulas and investment decisions worth millions of dollars.
