Net Present Value Calculator
Calculate net present value from signed, equally spaced cash flows and a discount rate per period.
The first entry is CF0 at time zero; subsequent entries are at equally spaced period ends. Enter a rate matching your period unit, and use one currency throughout. At least CF0 and CF1 are required.

Formula
NPV = Σ(t=0…N) CFt / (1+r)^t; r = rate (%) / 100.
