WHY THIS TOOL EXISTS

Why XIRR is useful for real portfolios

A SIP does not have one holding period: every instalment has been invested for a different length of time. XIRR accounts for those dates and gives you a money-weighted annualized return.

HOW TO USE IT

Turn the inputs into a better decision.

Keep assumptions realistic, compare scenarios and use the output as one input in your decision — not as a promise of returns.

01

Enter your monthly investment and the number of months invested.

02

Enter the current value of the investment.

03

Read the annualized XIRR and compare it with the absolute gain.

04

For short holding periods, remember that annualization can make returns look unusually large.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you use the number.

01What is XIRR?+

XIRR is the annualized return for cash flows that occur on different dates. It finds the rate that balances those dated cash flows.

02How is XIRR different from CAGR?+

CAGR assumes one initial investment and one final value. XIRR can handle multiple contributions and withdrawals at different dates.

03Why can XIRR look huge for a short period?+

XIRR annualizes the result. A gain over a few weeks or months can therefore look extreme when expressed as a full-year rate.

04Is my calculator data saved?+
