'''Profitability index''' (PI), also known as '''profit investment ratio''' (PIR) and '''value investment ratio''' (VIR), is the ratio of payoff to investment of a proposed project. It is a useful tool for ranking projects because it allows you to quantify the amount of value created per unit of investment.
 
The ratio is calculated as follows:
 
*<math>\text{Profitability index} = \frac{\text{PV of future cash flows}}{\text{Initial investment}}</math>
 
Assuming that the [[cash flow]] calculated does not include the investment made in the project, a profitability index of 1 indicates breakeven. Any value lower than one would indicate that the project's [[present value|PV]] is less than the initial investment. As the value of the profitability index increases, so does the financial attractiveness of the proposed project.
 
Rules for selection or rejection of a project:
 
*If PI > 1 then accept the project
*If PI < 1 then reject the project
 
For example, given:
 
************************************
 
*Investment = $40,000
*Life of the Machine = 5 Years
 
[[cash flow|CFAT]] Year      CFAT
      1        18000
      2        12000
      3        10000
      4        9000
      5        6000
 
Calculate [[Net present value]] at 10% and PI:
 
      Year      CFAT      PV@10%      PV
      1        18000      0.909      16362
      2        12000      0.827      9924 
      3        10000      0.752      7520
      4        9000      0.683      6147   
      5        6000      0.621      3726
              Total present value    43679
              (-) Investment        40000
                          NPV          3679
      PI = 43679/40000 = 1.091 > 1 ⇒ Accept the project
