Financial model results

The NPV Probability tab contains a probability distribution, computed continuously, of the expected net present value (NPV) for the current financial model. The probability distribution shows the 10th percentile, mode, and 90th percentile values for the NPV. The vertical line in the middle of the curve indicates the mode value. To see additional values along the probability distribution, move the mouse pointer over the curve. A red curve represents a negative NPV. A green curve represents a positive expected NPV. If the model does not contain high or low estimates, the expected NPV is a point rather than a probability distribution.

The Stats tab contains a set of values that are continuously computed for the current financial model. Whenever a parameter or estimate in the model changes, the values that are shown on this tab are recomputed within a few seconds. The following table describes the parameters that are shown on the Stats tab. Note: The term “today” is the current time period and “yesterday” is the time period preceding the current time period.

Parameter	Description
Current NPV	The sum of the discounted benefits from today to the end of the project, subtracted from the sum of discounted costs from today to the end of the project.
Expected NPV at Delivery	The sum of discounted costs from delivery to project end subtracted from the sum of discounted benefits from delivery to project end.
Benefits to Date	The sum of the benefits from the start of the project to yesterday.
Benefits to Go	The sum of the benefits from today to the end of the project.
Costs to Date	The sum of the discounted costs from the start of the project to yesterday.
Costs to Go	The sum of the discounted costs from today to the end of the project.
ROI to Date	The NPV today plus the sum of actual benefits divided by the costs to date.
ROI to Go	The NPV today divided by the sum of the discounted future costs.
Total ROI	The sum of the discounted benefits minus the sum of the discounted costs from the start to the end of the project, divided by the sum of the discounted costs from the start to the end of the project.
Expected ROI at Delivery	The Expected NPV at Delivery over the sum of discounted costs from project start to delivery.
Total Benefits	The sum of the benefits from the start of the project to the end.
Total Costs	The sum of discounted costs from the start of the project to the end.
Payback Period	The time period when the discounted costs balances the discounted benefits.
<unit> to Date	The sum of the defined units from the start of the project to yesterday.
<unit> to Go	The sum of the defined units from today to the end of the project.
Total <unit>	The sum of the defined units from the start of the project to the end.
<unit>/<cost unit> to Date	The sum of the defined units of each cost unit from the start of the project to yesterday.
<unit>/<cost unit> to Go	The sum of the defined unit of each cost unit from today to the end of the project.
