What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
Net present value discounts every future cash flow back to today's dollars, then subtracts the initial investment: NPV = sum of CFt / (1+r)^t, minus the initial cost. A positive NPV means the investment is expected to add value at that discount rate; a negative one means it destroys value.
