calculation evaluates a future stream of benefits and expenses by converting them to present values. A discount rate is used to discounted future benefits and the total sum of discounted costs is subtracted form the benefits. The relevant formula for NPV is: Where t - the time of the cash flow n - the total time of the project r - the discount rate Ct - the net cash flow (the amount of cash) at that point in time. C0 - the capitial outlay at the beginning of the investment time ( t = 0 ) (Wikipedia
