MIRR Calculator

Calculate the Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) for a 4-year cash flow series, using an explicit reinvestment rate instead of IRR's assumption that cash flows reinvest at the project's own return.

How to Use MIRR Calculator
  1. 1Enter the initial investment
  2. 2Enter the 4 yearly cashflows
  3. 3Enter your reinvestment rate for interim cashflows
  4. 4Click Calculate to see the future value of cashflows and the MIRR
Frequently Asked Questions

IRR solves for the single rate at which NPV = 0 (via search), implicitly assuming interim positive cashflows are reinvested at that same IRR — often unrealistic. MIRR instead lets you specify a separate, more realistic reinvestment rate for those cashflows, then computes a single modified return from that assumption.

Exactly 4 fixed yearly cashflow fields plus the initial investment — the same 4-cashflow structure as the IRR Calculator, for direct comparison between the two methods on the same numbers.

No — this simplified version assumes only the initial investment is an outflow and all 4 yearly cashflows are positive inflows. If your project has additional cash outflows in later years, this formula would need to be extended (discount those outflows to time 0 using a finance rate) — not currently supported here.

Because IRR's reinvestment-at-IRR assumption can make high-IRR projects look artificially more attractive. MIRR's explicit, realistic reinvestment rate avoids this distortion, especially when comparing projects with very different IRRs.
