IRR calculator:
The average yearly return of your holdings

PortfolioPilot shows an average yearly return for the holdings you own today, labelled Historical data (Average IRR) on the Trend chart.

It is the yearly return of your current holdings at today's weights over the past five years, not a money-weighted return of your own deposits and withdrawals. You see it next to the 12-month forecast. Included in the Free plan.

Five years

An average yearly return over the past five years.

No cash flows

Deposits, withdrawals and past trades are not part of it, so it is not your personal IRR.
