Net Present Value
Today's value of all future project cash flows, discounted at a specified rate. NPV answers: is this project worth more than the capital invested, accounting for the time value of money?
Why it matters
A positive NPV means the project creates value above the required return. A negative NPV means it does not meet the hurdle rate.
In Profivo
Calculated from the user-specified annual discount rate. The monthly discount rate is derived geometrically: (1 + r_annual)^(1/12) − 1, keeping the result consistent with the monthly cash flow model and IRR.
