NPV & IRR API
Discounted-cash-flow investment-appraisal maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The npv endpoint computes the net present value of a project from an upfront outlay, a series of future net cash flows and a discount rate, NPV = −initial + Σ CFₜ/(1+r)ᵗ, and reports the present value of the inflows, the profitability index and a plain accept-or-reject decision. The irr endpoint solves the internal rate of return — the discount rate that makes the NPV zero — by robust bisection over the cash flows, the figure you compare against a hurdle rate. The payback endpoint computes both the simple payback period, when the cumulative cash flow first recovers the outlay, and the discounted payback period, which discounts each flow first. Cash flows are passed as a comma-separated list, one per period. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for finance, corporate, fintech and project-management app developers, capital-budgeting and feasibility tools, and finance education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is capital budgeting; for loan amortization use a loan API and for CAGR and real returns an investment API.
