Discount equally spaced cash flows at an entered periodic required return.
It makes the prices, cash flows, rates, time periods, weights, and model conventions explicit so you can inspect an entered scenario without hidden live-market assumptions.
Calculation structure
Follow the stated model and units
NPV = Σ[CF_t/(1+r)^t], beginning with the time-zero row.

Read the estimate correctly
Use the result within its boundaries
Cash flows −1,000, 600, and 600 at 10% have NPV about 41.32.
Rates and cash-flow periods must use the same interval.
Quick guide
How to use this calculator
Enter the cash flows, values, rates, timing, or portfolio assumptions named in the fields.
Use one consistent period and currency convention throughout the scenario.
Read the calculator-specific model limits before interpreting the result.
Calculation method

NPV = Σ[CF_t/(1+r)^t], beginning with the time-zero row.
Model, simulation, root, square-root, and compounding outputs are estimates and are visibly marked approximate.
Worked example
Worked example
Cash flows −1,000, 600, and 600 at 10% have NPV about 41.32.
NPV = Σ[CF_t/(1+r)^t], beginning with the time-zero row.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Visible input limits
Inputs support up to 12 decimal places and lists support at most 1,200 rows. Iteration and simulation bounds are displayed in their fields.
International scope
No exchange, tax system, reporting standard, currency, fund rule, trading calendar, or market convention is selected automatically.
Decision boundary
Outputs are entered scenarios, not valuations, forecasts, risk limits, executable trades, suitability decisions, or recommendations.
Calculator-specific assumptions
Rates and cash-flow periods must use the same interval.
