How to use Net Present Value Calculator
NPV is the compensated sum of CF(t)/(1+r)^t. The entered rate applies to each equally spaced period, not automatically to a year.
- Enter cash flows, starting at period 0, rate per period (%).
- Check the model, units, and supported limits before calculating.
- Run the tool, inspect the result, then copy or download it.
Good to know
- 1–1,201 cash flows, rate greater than −100% and at most 1,000%. Extreme discounting is rejected. No project acceptance or return guarantee.
- Runs locally. Numeric inputs are bounded; floating-point output is approximate and rounded to 12 significant digits. Unsupported or non-finite calculations produce an error.
- Educational user-assumption arithmetic only. No live rates, tax rules, financial advice, or outcome guarantees.
