In 2020 let p = moment("2016/9/10", 'YYYY/MM/DD').diff(moment("2016/9/5", 'YYYY/MM/DD'), 'days'); gives you 5 @wocoburguesa

@Bhoomimehta, This is how you execute the code. Requires moment.js.

let money = [-100,20,25,30,35,40],
    dates = [moment("2017/6/30", 'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2017/12/31", 'YYYY/MM/DD'),
                    moment("2018/12/31", 'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2019/12/31", 'YYYY/MM/DD'),
                    moment("2020/12/31", 'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2021/12/31", 'YYYY/MM/DD')];
let j = XIRR(money,dates) * 100;
console.log(j);

@thorst Hi needed some help , when I try your code it works fine. but with my values it does not work. can you look into this ? These are my values :
let money = [-3865655.40,19708.41,20925.61,22142.82,23360.02,24577.23],
dates = [moment("2020/11/02",'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2020/121/02",'YYYY/MM/DD'),
moment("2020/01/02",'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2020/02/02",'YYYY/MM/DD'),
moment("2020/03/02",'YYYY/MM/DD'),moment("2020/04/02",'YYYY/MM/DD')];
let j = XIRR(money,dates,0.15) * 100;
console.log(j);

this gives NaN output.
Any help will be appreciated thanks!

moment("2020/121/02",'YYYY/MM/DD') -> This needs to be correct like moment("2020/12/02",'YYYY/MM/DD')

Hey, @ghalimi thanks for the script, it's a saver. A little fix is required due to the changed moment.diff() behaviour:

https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/difference/
By default, moment#diff will truncate the result to zero decimal places, returning an integer. If you want a floating point number, pass true as the third argument. Before 2.0.0, moment#diff returned a number rounded to the nearest integer, not a truncated number.

Sometimes, depending on the dates and timezones it returns not the expected results and the XIRR differs from what we get in Excel or Google Sheets. Lines 34 and 44 should have:
Math.round(moment(dates[i]).diff(moment(dates[0]), 'days', true))
instead of:
moment(dates[i]).diff(moment(dates[0]), 'days')

@wocoburguesa This might be the reason for your issue.

@ghalimi Thanks for the script!

Why this dataset returns NaN?

const values = [
  -1.00250692,
  -100.250692,
  -1.00250692,
  -100.250692,
  53.49105162911925,
  32.55768506535615
]
const dates = [
  "2021-07-09",
  "2021-07-09",
  "2021-07-09",
  "2021-07-09",
  "2022-02-25",
  "2022-02-25"
]
XIRR(values, dates); // NaN
