Frequently asked questions

What does NPV mean?

NPV is the present value of all future cash flows minus the initial investment, discounted at your cost of capital. Positive NPV means the project creates value.

What discount rate should I use?

Most companies use their weighted average cost of capital (WACC), often 8–12% for established firms.
