About this calculator

IRR is the discount rate that makes NPV equal zero. Higher IRR = better project, all else equal.

  • Solved by bisection over [-99%, 500%].
  • For non-conventional cash flows (multiple sign changes), IRR may not be unique.

Frequently asked questions

Why does IRR sometimes fail?
When cash flows change sign more than once, the polynomial can have multiple roots. NPV is more reliable in that case.
