First Year Rate of Return (FYRR) is the amount of return generated during the first year of a business initiative, project or contract. It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the effort and determine whether it will continue for another year. The rate of return can be positive or negative, and is used to determine whether the project is generating revenue faster than anticipated or not. Even if the first year’s rate of return is negative, it is not necessarily a sign of failure.
First Year Rate of Return (FYRR) is a term often used to describe the amount of return that is generated during the first year of a specific business initiative, project, or contract. The term is often used to refer to payback after all expenses that occur during the first year of the project have been settled. In some cases, the first year’s rate of return is used as a means of evaluating the effectiveness of the effort and determining whether it will be allowed to continue for another year.
Calculating a first-year rate of return involves identifying both the expenses related to the project under consideration along with the amount of revenue that is generated as a result of that project. The rate of return itself can be positive or negative, as income can exceed expenses, or income generated can be less than actual expenses. By determining the first-year rate of return, project managers can determine whether the forward movement of the effort is more or less what was expected, whether the project is generating revenue faster than originally anticipated, or whether the effort is not working to generate the projected level of income that was expected for the first year. Based on the result of the calculation, the project can be authorized to continue, or plans can be made to shut down the effort incrementally as soon as possible.
When used in the context of an insurance situation, the first year rate of return can focus on the amount of savings incurred as a result of launching a new process or initiative. Here the objective may not be focused on generating additional income per se, but on reducing expenses so that a greater amount of returns is obtained from the same level of income. For example, if an initiative involves adding benefits that promote health maintenance in some way, such as covering a limited number of doctor visits each calendar year, and that initiative greatly reduces health care costs because problems are identified and addressed earlier, this would mean that starting was successful and helped increase actual returns in that first year.
It is important to note that even if the first year’s rate of return is negative, this is not necessarily a sign of failure. Some projects, such as the launch of new product lines, may require more than a calendar year to recoup the investment in the project, even if the products are selling rapidly towards the end of that first year. For this reason, business owners, project managers, and others involved in evaluating project-related returns will often view the rate of return within a certain context. Only if the first year rate of return is significantly less than anticipated should the decision to terminate the initiative be seriously considered.
