NPV Calculator

Discount a periodic cash-flow series at the per-period rate you enter and inspect every present-value contribution.

Enter periodic cash flows

Enter values and select Calculate.

Net present value formula

NPV = Σ CFt ÷ (1 + r)t. Period 0 is not discounted. The rate is per cash-flow period: annual cash flows need an annual rate; monthly cash flows need a monthly rate.

Interpretation boundary

Rates greater than −100% are supported for up to 200 periods. NPV is one mathematical measure based on entered assumptions—not a buy/sell signal, valuation guarantee, or risk analysis.
