How can i calculate the IRR (Internal Rate of Return)?

Answer 1

google "IRR" and find a result that allows you to plug in the numbers correspondingly- and VOILA. no calculator needed. Note- for capital budgeting decisions- oscillating cash flows result in an error if using calculator because in essence the IRR plot line will hit the x-axis twice (ie it will be positive and negative)

Answer 2

The IRR formula is somewhat complex when you look at it (below):

Best bet is to go to Excel, find the macro for IRR, and fill in the blanks.

Otherwise, you'll have to do this on your own.

n - 1
cfi * (1 + r) ((ti - to)/365) -1
i =0
cfi = cash flow or dollar amount of ith item.
to = date of ith item (in days).
n = # of transactions for this security in report range.
ti = # of days in report range.
r = rate of interest (solving for r).
