Spreadsheet calculator of NPV which is the sum of the present value (PV) of the future individual cash flows (including in flows and out flows) minus initial investment.
NPV tells how much value an investment or project will bring in.
If NPV < 0, the investment should be rejected.
If NPV > 0, the investment may be accepted.
Using NPV to determine an investment is certainly not enough. IRR (Internal Rate of Return) will tell you other variable over project economics. The rate of return so should be used to compare different investments.
