Frequently Asked Questions

What is NPV?
NPV (Net Present Value) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. A positive NPV indicates the investment is expected to be profitable.
What discount rate should I use?
The discount rate typically represents your cost of capital or required rate of return. Common choices include WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), expected market return, or the risk-free rate plus a risk premium.
