        "description": "Investment and capital-budgeting maths as an API. The npv endpoint computes the net present value of a series of cash flows at a discount rate (the first flow is usually the negative initial investment). The irr endpoint finds the internal rate of return — the discount rate at which the net present value is zero — by a robust bracketed search. The annuity endpoint solves a level (ordinary) annuity: give the rate, the number of periods and any one of the payment, present value or future value, and it returns the other two. The depreciation endpoint builds a full year-by-year schedule by the straight-line, declining-balance (any factor, e.g. double-declining) or sum-of-the-years'-digits method, never depreciating below salvage value. Rates may be entered as a percentage or a fraction. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for investment analysis and capital budgeting, accounting and finance tools, business planning, and finance education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 5 endpoints. This is investment maths; for loans, mortgages and compound interest
