What the Real Estate Investment IRR Calculator is for
Estimate a five-year annual property IRR from equity cash flows and net sale proceeds.
It keeps income, operating costs, financing, invested cash, value, timing, and exit assumptions explicit so you can reproduce the result and compare genuinely consistent scenarios.
Calculation structure
Keep income, costs, and value in the right period
IRR is the annual rate that makes the NPV of the time-zero investment and five year-end cash flows equal zero.

Cost or equityInvestment base
IRR is the annual rate that makes the NPV of the time-zero investment and five year-end cash flows equal zero.
Read the result correctly
Use the result with its boundaries
Investing 100,000 followed by four 8,000 cash flows and 128,000 in year five produces an annual IRR of approximately 11.1987%.
Cash flows are annual and periodic. Some cash-flow patterns have multiple IRRs or no supported root; IRR is not a recommendation.

How to use this calculator
Enter a single internally consistent property scenario.
Use the field labels to preserve each page's specific investment, transaction, lease, development, or lodging convention.
Review the calculator-specific boundary before interpreting the result.

IRR is the annual rate that makes the NPV of the time-zero investment and five year-end cash flows equal zero.
Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic except the explicitly approximate IRR root. Money rounds only for display and supported nonzero amounts remain visible.
