Expansion ROI Calculator - the GO/NO-GO test for the next big bet.

Expansion ROI = added annual profit / total cost of the expansion. A GO needs the return to clear your cost of capital and your risk. Enter the numbers for a clear GO or NO-GO.

NPV + IRR + Payback - all three should pass. This calculator builds the 5-year cash flow, computes the verdict, and shows the year-by-year math so you can defend the decision.
