Total Present Value (Discounted): Benefit Plan field

The calculated total of spending and benefit plans for all periods, reduced to current dollars by the discount rate.

Current dollars for individual spending plan and benefit plan periods are calculated as Plan Period $ divided by ((1 plus Discount Rate) to the nth power). Where n equals the Current Discount Application Period Value (for example, 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 the Discount Rate change, Total Spending Plan PV, Total Benefit Plan PV, NPV, ROI, and Payback Period are recalculated.
