What IRR is

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate at which a project's NPV is exactly zero. In practice, it is the annual percentage return the investment generates.

Why it matters to the board

IRR lets you compare projects with each other and with the cost of capital: if IRR > cost of capital (or the required hurdle rate), the project is worthwhile. A high IRR signals an efficient investment.

How to read it

IRR > hurdle rate - project creates value, accept

IRR ≈ hurdle rate - borderline, assess risk

IRR < hurdle rate - reject at this cost of capital

How CRMconnect helps

Layer-type operational investments (low entry cost, fast recurring savings) generate very high IRRs, often triple digits annually, because benefits begin in days, not months.

Πραγματικό παράδειγμα

A €48,000 project returning €100,000/year in savings has an annual IRR above 100% - far above any realistic cost of capital.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις

IRR vs NPV?+

NPV gives value created in money; IRR gives the percentage return. NPV is more reliable when comparing projects of very different sizes.

Is a very high IRR always real?+

For short projects with fast gains, IRR can look huge. Check it alongside NPV and payback for the full picture.
