About Payback Period

The Payback Period calculator helps you determine how long it will take to recover your initial investment based on projected cash flows.

Simple Payback Period

Calculated by dividing the initial investment by annual cash flows, considering growth rate. This method doesn't account for the time value of money.

Discounted Payback Period

Similar to simple payback period but considers the time value of money by discounting future cash flows. This provides a more realistic estimate in most cases.
