XIRR function is often used to calculate returns on your investment and is similar to compounded annualized returns (CAGR). However CAGR is useful in determining returns when there is a single investment (cash flow for purchase). This is however not very practical as we could have multiple purchases as well as redemptions in the portfolio over a period of time. XIRR helps in calculating returns taking into account these multiple cash flows based on the investment time period in your overall investment and helps understand the rate of return (annualized basis) earned on your total investment.

Most financial instruments these days generally give out interests/ income at irregular intervals, for example dividends on mutual fund units. Using simple point to point return to calculate the return of such investments would not be the precise method, as it does not take into account the date of cash inflows. Hence XIRR is used to calculate the annualized yield for a range of irregular cash flows. It allows for uneven cash flow intervals by taking into account the dates on which the cash flows occur and also accounts for outflows or redemptions during the period of assessment.
