How it's calculated
NPV = −C₀ + Σ CFₜ ÷ (1 + r)^t IRR: the r where NPV = 0
A positive NPV means the project returns more than your discount rate after paying back what it cost; negative means less. The IRR is the discount rate at which the NPV is exactly zero. NPV depends heavily on the rate and on how reliable the cash-flow estimates are.
