Profitability Index Formula

The formula for the PI is as follows:

or

Therefore:

• If the PI is greater than 1, the project generates value and the company should proceed with the project.
• If the PI is less than 1, the project destroys value and the company should not proceed with the project.
• If the PI is equal to 1, the project breaks even and the company is indifferent between proceeding and not proceeding with the project.

The higher the profitability index, the more attractive the investment.
