Enter the net present value ($) and the discount rate (%) into the Reverse NPV Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the cash flow.

Reverse NPV Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Reverse NPV. 

R = NPV * (1+DR/100)
  • Where R is the Reverse NPV (cash flow) ($)
  • NPV is the net present value ($) 
  • DR is the discount rate (%) 

How to Calculate Reverse NPV?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Reverse NPV.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the net present value ($).
    • The net present value ($) is given as: 10,000.
  2. Next, determine the discount rate (%).
    • The discount rate (%) is provided as: 15.
  3. Finally, calculate the Reverse NPV using the equation above: 

R = NPV * (1+DR/100)

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

R = 10,000 * (1+15/100) = 11,500.00 ($)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

net present value ($) = 60,000

discount rate (%) = 20

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.

R = NPV * (1+DR/100) = ?
