Total Benefit Plan

Total Benefit Plan (Present Value) field

The sum of the monthly benefit plan. When you select an EPS node, project code, or portfolio in the hierarchy, this is the sum of Total Benefit for all projects in the group.

Calculated as Plan Period $ divided by (1 plus Annual Discount Rate) multiplied by n. Where n equals the Current Discount Application Period Value (e.g., for yearly over 8 years, values are calculated for n equals year 0, year 1, year 2, ... year 7). The Project Start Date is used as the beginning of period 0. If the Project Start Date or Annual Discount Rate change, Total Spending Plan PV, Total Benefit Plan PV, NPV, ROI, and Payback Period are recalculated.
