XIRR calculator

Your mutual fund app says you've gained 20% — but over how long, with money added every month? The XIRR calculator answers the real question: what yearly return did your money earn, given exactly when each rupee went in and came out? It's the same method fund houses use in your statement, and it works for SIPs, lump-sum top-ups, partial redemptions, stocks, chit funds or any investment with irregular cash flows.

How to use it

  1. For a regular SIP, fill in the amount, first date, number of instalments and today's value, then tap Fill monthly SIP.
  2. Or add each cash flow yourself: investments as negative amounts, withdrawals and the current value as positive.
  3. The XIRR updates instantly.

What XIRR solves

Find r such that Σ amount ÷ (1 + r)days ÷ 365 = 0

Example

A ₹5,000 monthly SIP started on 5 January 2023 with 36 instalments has ₹1.8 lakh invested. If it's worth ₹2.15 lakh on 5 January 2026, a month after the last instalment, the XIRR is about 11.9% a year — even though the absolute gain is only about 19%, because most of the money was invested for less than three years. For a single lump sum, the CAGR calculator gives the same answer more simply.

Frequently asked questions

What is XIRR?
XIRR (extended internal rate of return) is the annualised return of a series of investments and withdrawals made on different dates. It is the standard way to measure SIP and stock portfolio returns, and the figure mutual fund statements show.
How do I enter my SIP for XIRR?
Enter each instalment as a negative amount (money going out) with its date, and the current value of your investment as a positive amount with today’s date. Use “Fill monthly SIP” to generate the instalments quickly.
Why is my XIRR different from CAGR?
CAGR assumes all the money was invested on day one. In a SIP, later instalments have been invested for less time, so XIRR measures their return over their actual holding period — usually giving a more accurate, and different, figure.
Can XIRR be negative?
Yes — if the current value is less than what you put in, XIRR shows the annualised loss.
