    Result through FV Function is being different from Pure Math Calculation?

    Could anyone please help me to rectify the following problem.

    Compounded Half-yearly ie 2
    ROI 8% (=8%/2) ie 0.04
    Term(Yrs) 6
    Term (Months) 0
    TotTerm 6 (=6*2) ie 12
    Instalment 1000 (=1000/2) ie 500


    If I use Excel FV Function like this
    FV(0.04, 12, -500, 0, 1)

    The result becomes 7813.42

    But if I calculate in the following way:

    1000 6 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(12),0) = 1601
    1000 5 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(10),0) = 1480
    1000 4 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(8),0) = 1369
    1000 3 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(6),0) = 1265
    1000 2 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(4),0) = 1170
    1000 1 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(2),0) = 1082

    The result becomes 7967

    The difference is being 153.58

    I would like to know the correct Excel Function.

    Regards,
