Payback period for Annuity

Payback period for Annuity

In this case payback period may be calculated by dividing the investment with equal cash flow (installment).

Example of Payback for annuity

ABC wants to start a new project and the project requires initial investment of $ 500,000. The expected cash flow is $ 200,000 per annum for ten year. Calculate the payback period

Solution

Payback period = Initial Investment / Cash Flows
= $500,000/$200,000

= 2.5 Years
