Formula and Calculation for IRR

\begin{aligned} &\text{IRR}=\text{NPV}=\sum_{t=1}^{T}\frac{C_t}{\left(1+r\right)^t}-C_0=0\\ &\textbf{where:}\\ &C_t=\text{Net cash inflow during the period t}\\ &C_0=\text{Total initial investment costs}\\ &r=\text{The discount rate}\\ &t=\text{The number of time periods}\\ \end{aligned}

IRR

where:

C  t  =Net cash inflow during the period t

C  0​  =Total initial investment costs

r=The discount rate

t=The number of time periods
