Net Present Value (NPV) Formula – Investment Decision Tool

Net Present Value (NPV) is the gold standard method for evaluating long-term investments and projects. It calculates the total value of future cash flows in today's money, accounting for the time value of money (a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow). A positive NPV means an investment adds value; a negative NPV means it destroys value.
