- Raw interpolation within the crossing period
- 2.5
Discounted recovery is not reached in the entered horizon. Fractional figures interpolate the crossing period; actual end-period cash flows recover only at a recorded period end.
The initial outflow and subsequent nonnegative receipts are accumulated in raw and time-zero present-value units.

Enter the stated simple schedule
Use a negative initial outflow followed by nonnegative receipts. Keep zero intervals in the sequence. The rate is nonnegative and applies to one entered interval. A future cleanup outflow lies outside this basic recovery model; inspect that schedule with the general NPV tool instead.
Separate recorded recovery from a fractional display
First end-period recovery is the first recorded date when the cumulative amount reaches the initial outlay. Fractional displays interpolate within the crossing interval. They are not observed cash-arrival dates for amounts modeled only at period ends.
Inspect the default counterexample
The default −1,000; 400; 400; 400 at 10% has first raw recovery at period three and raw interpolation 2.5. Discounted recovery is not reached, and entered-horizon NPV is -5.259204.
Retain the whole forecast horizon
Adding later receipts can change NPV while leaving the first recovery date unchanged. The calculator describes entered assumptions; it does not certify liquidity availability, operational risk or an actual investment decision.
