The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is a financial metric that is widely used in capital budgeting and investment planning. It calculates the profitability of an investment, considering the initial investment, future cash flows, and holding period. It is used to determine the break-even point – the point when revenues equal costs. It is particularly useful when comparing projects with similar risk profiles or when you need a single metric to evaluate a project's performance.
