XIRR calculator: a quick guide

What is XIRR?

XIRR is the yearly return on a series of investments and withdrawals made on different dates, such as SIP instalments, top-ups and partial redemptions. Mutual fund statements commonly report returns this way.

How this calculator works it out

It finds the single yearly rate at which the value of all your cash flows, each discounted by the actual number of days from the first one (on a 365-day year), adds up to zero.

An example

You invest ₹1 lakh on 1 January 2024 and another ₹1 lakh on 1 January 2025. On 1 January 2026 the investment is worth ₹2.3 lakh. Your XIRR is about 9.7% a year, even though the total gain is 15%, because the second ₹1 lakh was invested for only one year.

Good to know

  • Enter money you put in as investments and money you take out, or the current value, as withdrawals.
  • For a single investment with no other cash flows, XIRR and CAGR give the same answer.
How it's calculated

XIRR finds the single annual rate that makes the present value of all your investments, withdrawals and current value add up to zero, using the exact number of days between each date.

Common questions

Why not use CAGR?

CAGR works for one investment and one final value. When you invest different amounts on different dates, as with SIPs or top-ups, XIRR gives the accurate annual return.

Where do I find the dates and amounts?

Your mutual fund account statement or the consolidated account statement from CAMS or KFintech lists every transaction.
