Frequently Asked Questions
What is Net Present Value (NPV)?▾
NPV is the difference between the present value of future cash inflows and the initial investment. A positive NPV means the investment is expected to generate more value than it costs — it is profitable.
What discount rate should I use?▾
The discount rate typically reflects your required rate of return or the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Common choices are 8-12% for business projects, or the risk-free rate plus a risk premium.
