Tracking Non-Uniform Investments
Enter your cash flows with dates (investments as negative amounts, redemptions and current value as positive). The calculator computes XIRR, giving you the true annualised return. This is essential for real-world portfolios where investments are rarely made in uniform monthly amounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate returns on irregular investments?
XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return) is the correct method for calculating returns on irregular cash flows. Enter each investment date and amount, plus the current value with today's date. The calculator uses the XIRR formula to compute the annualised return, accounting for the timing and size of each cash flow.
Who should use an irregular cash flow calculator?
Anyone with non-uniform investments: freelancers who invest variable amounts, business owners with irregular surplus, investors who make lump sum additions to existing SIPs, or those who receive bonuses and invest them at different times. XIRR gives a more accurate return than simple CAGR for such portfolios.
