Net Present Value (NPV) is the value of all future cash flows (positive and negative) over the entire life of an investment discounted to the present. NPV analysis is a form of intrinsic valuation and is used extensively across finance and accounting for determining the value of a business, investment security, capital project, new venture, cost reduction program, and anything that involves cash flow.

The formula for Net Present Value is:

Net Present Value (NPV) Formula

where:

Z1 = Cash flow in time 1

Z2 = Cash flow in time 2

r = Discount range

X0 = Cash outflow in time 0 (i.e. the purchase price / initial investment)

NPV analysis is used to help determine how much an investment, project, or any series of cash flows is worth. It is an all-encompassing metric, as it takes into account all revenues, expenses, and capital costs associated with an investment in its Free Cash Flow (FCF).
