Private Equity Fund Performance Calculator for LPs

Track private equity fund value for an LP: cash already returned and value still held.

Questions this calculator answers
  1. If we paid $100 million into a private equity fund and got $60 million back, what is our DPI?
  2. If the fund still holds $90 million in NAV for us, what are our RVPI and TVPI?
  3. How much of our total fund value have we received in cash, and how much remains invested?

$150m of total value reconciles to 0.60x DPI plus 0.90x RVPI.

Unrealized share60.0%Remaining NAV divided by total value.
0.60x DPI + 0.90x RVPI = 1.50x TVPI

How it is calculated

TVPI = DPI + RVPI = (distributions + remaining NAV) ÷ paid-in capital

Realization share divides cash returned by total value. It is not DPI, which uses paid-in capital as its base.

Read the result in context

These ILPA-style private equity measures all use paid-in capital as their base. DPI shows cash returned. RVPI shows value still held. TVPI combines both.

How do you calculate DPI, RVPI and TVPI?

DPI equals distributions divided by paid-in capital. RVPI equals remaining NAV divided by paid-in capital. TVPI equals DPI plus RVPI.

What is total value to paid-in capital?

TVPI means total value to paid-in capital. Add all cash returned to the NAV left, then divide by paid-in capital.

What is the difference between TVPI and DPI?

DPI counts only cash returned. TVPI also counts the NAV still held in the fund through RVPI.
