XIRR
XIRR is the annualised internal rate of return for irregularly dated cash flows and a final value.
Plain-language meaning
XIRR is the annualised internal rate of return for irregularly dated cash flows and a final value.
Why it is useful
XIRR is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.
Where it appears in XMarketRadar
Look for XIRR in Portfolio Analytics, Risk Cockpit, holding analysis, performance views and relevant screeners.
How it is calculated or sourced
Solve for the annual rate r that makes the dated cash-flow net present value equal zero: sum(cash flow/(1+r)^(days/365)) = 0.
Inputs, period and unit
Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.
Worked example
Illustrative only: Investing ₹100,000 on 1 January, adding ₹20,000 on 1 July and ending at ₹132,000 on 31 December requires XIRR because the cash flows are irregularly dated.
What high and low mean
A higher or lower XIRR value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.
Positive, negative and genuine zero
Positive and negative XIRR values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.
Limitations and common mistakes
Multiple solutions or no solution can occur with unusual sign changes. Incorrect transaction dates, omitted income and a guessed final value make the result misleading.
Market-specific differences
The concept is used across all supported markets, but currency, price scale, session calendar, source field and regulatory definition can differ. XMarketRadar preserves the exact exchange context.
