NPV Calculator Guide

What is NPV?

Net Present Value (NPV) is a financial metric that calculates the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. It's used to evaluate the profitability of an investment or project.

Formula

NPV = -Initial Investment + Σ [CF_t / (1 + r)^t]

Where:
CF_t = Cash flow at time t
r = Discount rate
t = Time period

How to Interpret NPV

• NPV > 0: The investment is expected to add value. The project may be accepted.
• NPV = 0: The investment is expected to neither gain nor lose value. The decision should be based on other factors.
• NPV < 0: The investment is expected to lose value. The project should generally be rejected.

Tips for Using This Calculator

• Enter the initial investment as a positive number
• Use the "Advanced Mode" for varying annual cash flows
• Enter cash flows as positive for inflows
• The discount rate should reflect your required rate of return
