An ordinary annuity pays at the end of each period; an annuity due pays at the start, which is worth exactly one extra period of interest — $386.09 more here. Rent and insurance are typically due; loan repayments and coupons are typically ordinary. Getting the convention wrong is a small but systematic error that always favours one side.

Frequently asked questions
What is the present value of an annuity?
What a stream of future payments is worth today. £1,000 a year for ten years at 5% is worth £7,721.73 now — not £10,000, because later payments are discounted more.
What is the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due?
When the payment lands. An annuity due pays at the start of each period, earning one extra period of interest, so it is worth (1 + r) times the ordinary version.
Which type is my situation?
Rent, insurance premiums and leases are usually due — paid in advance. Loan repayments, bond coupons and salaries are usually ordinary — paid in arrears.
How is future value related to present value?
FV is PV compounded forward over the whole term. Both describe the same cash flows, valued at different points in time.
