What is XIRR in simple terms? My XIRR for mutual fund investment is 11.8% , invested an year back. How's it? Average, good, poor etc.?

Recently had some unexpected free time, so I built BeyondSalary: beyond-salary.vercel.app/ Most software engineering relocation discussions focus only on salary, but very few compare: • actual savings after tax • cost of living • healthcare • layoffs & notice periods • vacation policies • air quality • work-life balance Would genuinely love feedback from people working across these countries. Also exploring senior/staff frontend opportunities.
Resigned from LTIMindtree in March 2026 with LWD in May. Despite being a top performer for 2 years and consistently receiving 4/4 ratings, my final rating was reduced to 1/4 after resignation, which impacted my variable pay eligibility. Disappointing experience, especially when my managers acknowledged my contributions and performance throughout the year.
Greetings , People with career gaps exceeding one year, how did you manage to get back into IT , please share your experiences to help me in this phase. (4+ yoe) Highly demotivated. Not getting recruiter visibility, asked friends and ex colleagues for referrals , no avail. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thankyou.
Suppose you started investing 2 years back, today you might be seeing total return as 18% which means total gain on your current invested sum, XIRR means average annual return in your portfolio, suppose you earned 5% in first year and earned 20% in second year then your XIRR would be around 12.5% (this is just a layman calculation for the awareness purpose) This means after 10 years you can easily check what is the actual annual return on the particular mutual fund. I hope this clears your doubt
If you do SIP, it will calculate returns using XIRR(returns of entire sip). I will consider it as good for equity. Some active funds will give better returns around 15
XIRR for mf above 10% is a very gud deal. Its per yr returns avg.
I think it is good, I made 17.8 xirr started my investment journey 2 years back, made 1.57 lac return by mutual fund
