Different Futures
Future Forms Compared
The main difference between the future with 'will', and the future with 'going to' is that the future with 'will' is used for decisions made at the moment of speaking. In other words, use 'will' to express your reaction to a situation.
It's ok. Our market capitalization will boost our profits.
Wait just a moment, and I will have those net assets values ready for you.
I'm sure Kim will account for the market capitalization when she updates the report.
The future with 'going to', on the other hand, is used to make a statement about something you have decided before the moment of speaking.
We are going to increase bank lending rates.
This means I am not going to get a certified check tomorrow.
I am just going to process one more credit application first.
Scheduled Events in the Future
Use the present continuous to express scheduled or planned events in the near future.
