Question 1

What is a NPV Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Net Present Value (NPV) sums all future cash flows discounted to today's value minus the initial investment. Positive NPV means the investment creates more value than it costs.

Question 2

How does the NPV Calculator work?

Accepted Answer

NPV = Σ Cₜ/(1+r)ᵗ − Initial investment Then: r = required discount rate (cost of capital) Then: NPV > 0: invest; NPV < 0: reject Then: Higher discount rate → lower NPV.

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the NPV Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input −$50k initial, $15k/yr for 5yr, 10% discount rate gives a result of NPV = +$6,862 → invest.

Question 4

Is the NPV Calculator free to use?
