FAQs
Can I treat an irregularly dated cash-flow list as equally spaced?
This tool’s periodic model depends on the chosen interval assumptions. Irregular calendar dates need a corresponding dated-cash-flow calculation rather than an equally spaced series.
Which inputs do I need for IRR / Periodic Cash Flow Annualized Return Calculator?
Use Annual Cash Flows (Comma-separated: negative for investments, positive for payouts). The built-in examples show how those fields fit together.
What should I check before using this result?
Cash flow series must contain at least one negative outflow (investment) and one positive inflow (redemption). Check current official rules and your own circumstances before making a filing or financial decision.
