How it works

XIRR finds the yearly rate at which the present value of all your cash flows is zero. Money in is negative, money out (or today's value) is positive. Dates matter: money invested for a short time counts less than money invested for years. This is the same calculation as the XIRR function in spreadsheets, using a 365 day year.

Formula

Find r such that sum of amount / (1 + r)^(days since first date / 365) = 0

Frequently asked questions

What is XIRR?

An annualised return for cash flows on irregular dates, such as SIP instalments and a redemption.

Why should investments be negative?

XIRR needs money going out and coming in; the sign tells the calculator which is which.

How is XIRR different from CAGR?

CAGR uses one start and one end value; XIRR handles many dated amounts.
