    The payback period measures the time it takes to recoup the cost of the investment.

    Payback period = initial investment / net annual cash inflow

    One of the shortcomings of the payback period formula is that it doesn't take into consideration the time value of money. If you'd like to compute this and have it checked, post again. If you don't understand, please ask a specific question. Thanks.
