Payback Period Calculator
Find out how many months it takes to recover an investment from its expected monthly return.
How to use this calculator
Enter the total investment (or upfront cost) and the return you expect to receive each month. The payback period is simply Investment ÷ Monthly Return — the point at which cumulative returns equal the original investment. This is a simple estimate that assumes a constant monthly return and doesn’t account for the time value of money.
