NOTE

This gem is not very well maintained. You can check out a new and properlly maintained library for fast XIRR calculation: https://github.com/fintual-oss/fast-xirr

I haven't tried it yet, but I liked two things:

• All calculations are underlying C ( = Fast )
• Bad results return NaN ( = you can decide how to deal with it )

Xirr

This is a gem to calculate XIRR on Bisection Method or Newton Method.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'xirr'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install xirr

Usage

include Xirr

cf = Xirr::Cashflow.new
cf << Xirr::Transaction.new(-1000,  date: '2014-01-01'.to_date)
cf << Xirr::Transaction.new(-2000,  date: '2014-03-01'.to_date)
cf << Xirr::Transaction.new( 4500, date: '2015-12-01'.to_date)
cf.xirr
# 0.25159694345042327 # [BigDecimal]

flow = []
flow << Xirr::Transaction.new(-1000,  date: '2014-01-01'.to_date)
flow << Xirr::Transaction.new(-2000,  date: '2014-03-01'.to_date)
