MIRR (Modified IRR) Calculator

IRR with explicit reinvestment-rate assumption. Avoids the multiple-IRR problem.

Inputs

Cost of borrowing for the initial investment.

Rate at which interim cash flows are reinvested.

Result

MIRR
14.7569%
Reinvest at 6%; finance at 8%.
  • PV of negative flows$100,000.00
  • FV of positive flows$199,018.40
  • MIRR14.7569%

Step-by-step

  1. FV of positive cash flows at reinvestment rate: $199,018.40.
  2. PV of negative cash flows (incl. initial) at finance rate: $100,000.00.
  3. MIRR = (FV / PV)^(1/n) − 1 = (199,018/100,000)^(1/5) − 1 = 14.7569%.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter initial investment, cash flows, finance rate, and reinvestment rate.
  • Read MIRR.

About this calculator

MIRR addresses two flaws of standard IRR: (1) multiple-IRR for non-conventional flows, (2) the implicit-and-unrealistic assumption that intermediate cash flows are reinvested at IRR itself. MIRR uses two explicit rates: a finance rate for negative flows and a reinvestment rate for positive flows. Always single-valued, more conservative than IRR for typical projects.

Frequently asked

Because IRR effectively reinvests at IRR (often unrealistic). MIRR uses a more realistic (typically lower) reinvestment rate.
