How to Use the NPV Calculator:

1. Select your preferred currency and the number of periods (years) for cash flow projections.
2. Enter the Initial Investment (as a positive number, it's treated as an outflow at Year 0).
3. Enter the Annual Discount Rate (e.g., 10 for 10%). All inputs must be entered manually.
4. Input the expected Cash Flow for each period/year in the dynamically generated fields. Positive for inflow, negative for outflow.
5. Click "Calculate NPV". The result will be displayed.

A positive NPV indicates that the projected earnings generated by a project or investment (in present dollar terms) exceeds the anticipated costs (also in present dollar terms). Generally, an investment with a positive NPV will be profitable, and an investment with a negative NPV will result in a net loss.
