IRR function
Returns the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows
Syntax
IRR(values, [guess])Square brackets indicate optional arguments.
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| values | Yes | An array or a reference to cells that contain numbers for which you want to calculate the internal rate of return.
1.Values must contain at least one positive value and one negative value to calculate the internal rate of return.
2.IRR uses the order of values to interpret the order of cash flows. Be sure to enter your payment and income values in the sequence you want.
3.If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored.A1:A4 |
| guess | No | A number that you guess is close to the result of IRR.0.1 |
Try IRR
Solve a periodic cash-flow break-even rate
=IRR(A2:A4)At 10% per period, the last receipt has present value 1210/1.1^2=1000, cancelling the initial outflow. Cash-flow positions are equally spaced; IRR is a per-period rate.
