The Net Present Value (NPV) method examines an investment’s costs and benefits. The present value of all the money coming in (inflows) is subtracted from the present value of all the money going out (outflows) over the project’s life. When the time value of money is considered, a positive NPV means that the project is likely to make money because the future earnings are more significant than the initial costs.
