NPV Calculator

NPV is the difference between the present value of future cash inflows and the initial investment. A positive NPV means the investment earns more than your required rate of return and creates value. A negative NPV means it destroys value.

Use your weighted average cost of capital (WACC) or your minimum acceptable rate of return. For personal investments, 8-12% is common. For corporate projects, use your company's WACC. Higher-risk projects warrant higher discount rates.

The Profitability Index (PI) is the ratio of total present value of inflows to the initial investment. A PI > 1.0 means the investment creates value. It's useful for comparing projects of different sizes.
