You can find discounted payback period by using this calculator when you provide a series of cash flows, a single discount rate, specify the timing of cash flow, and type of interest compounding. The cash flows may make either end or start of period payments, and interest rate is compounded either discretely or continuously.
DPP method is used in DCF analysis to evaluate capital investment projects. It refers to the time period required to recover the initial costs incurred in undertaking the project. The cash flows are discounted to refelect the present value of the future money amounts thus the term discounted is used in DPP. Most companies would set aside a target time period in which they wish to recover the cost. If the discounted payback period falls below or at this target time, then a corporate manager is likely to approve the project.
