Tips

  • Ensure at least two cash flows are entered for calculation.
  • Last Cash Flow in XIRR: In XIRR calculations, the final cash flow typically represents the final value or redemption value of your investment. If there’s an amount that has not been withdrawn but is available for withdrawal, it should be included as the final cash flow. This ensures the calculation reflects the true value of the investment at the end of the period
  • Dates should be in chronological order.
