payback period method

Definition

Method of evaluating investment opportunities and product development projects on the basis of the time taken to recoup the investment. This period is compared to the required payback period to determine the acceptability of the investment proposal. In contrast to return on investment and net present value methods, the cash inflows occurring after the payback period are not included in this method. Formula: Payback period (in years) = Initial capital investment ÷ Annual cash-flow from the investment.
