Frequently Asked Questions
Net Present Value (NPV) & Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Calculator FAQs
Clear answers to common questions about calculations and methodology
Net Present Value (NPV) is the sum of all future cash inflows discounted back to present value, minus the initial capital outlay. A positive NPV indicates that the project earns a return exceeding the discount hurdle rate.
