How it works
Calculate net present value (NPV) of a series of cash flows at a discount rate.
Who it's for: Financial analysts, entrepreneurs, and MBA students evaluating projects.
NPV = sum of discounted cash flows; CF₀ is typically the initial investment (negative).
NPV ≥ 0 suggests the project adds value at the given discount rate.

- Enter Discount rate as an annual percentage.
