What is the NPV test?

The NPV test compares the value of a dollar today with the value of a dollar in the future, taking into account inflation and returns. NPV tests are used by servicers in the loan modification context because they want to compare the FMV of the property today to the present value of the modified mortgage.

What is NPV in mortgage modification?

The Net Present Value Test (NPV) is a calculation which indicates how much a loan as an investment is worth today. Mortgage investors will compare what a mortgage is worth today with what a mortgage is worth after a modification. If the NPV is negative, the investor does not have to modify the mortgage.

The future value formula

  1. future value = present value x (1+ interest rate)n Condensed into math lingo, the formula looks like this:
  2. FV=PV(1+i)n In this formula, the superscript n refers to the number of interest-compounding periods that will occur during the time period you’re calculating for.
  3. FV = $1,000 x (1 + 0.1)5

How do you calculate NPV for refinance?

Step 3: Subtract the PV of the balance difference from the PV of the payment differences to calculate the net present value of refinancing. The NPV of refinancing to the 30-year rate is therefore $66,573 – $43,597 = $22,976.
