+## XIRR (Excel-Compatible)
+
+Calculate the Extended Internal Rate of Return (XIRR) for irregular cash flows with Excel compatibility.
+
+```fsharp
+open System
+open FSharp.Finance.Personal
+
+let cashflows = [ DateTime(2025,1,1), -10000m; DateTime(2026,1,1), 11000m ]
+let r = Xirr.xirr cashflows
+printfn "XIRR = %.4f%%" (r * 100m)
+// Output: XIRR = 10.0000%
+```
+
+Features:
+- **Excel compatibility**: Uses ExcelFinancialFunctions library with default guess=0.1
+- **Multiple functions**: `xirr`, `xirrG` (custom guess), `tryXirr` (safe Result type)
+- **Input validation**: Ensures mixed signs, sufficient data points, and non-identical dates
+- **Decimal precision**: Returns rates as decimal values for financial calculations
+
+The XIRR functions follow Excel's sign convention where negative values represent outflows (investments, payments) and positive values represent inflows (returns, receipts).
+
 This library operates partially in areas where business is regulated by various regulators.
 Though every care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the results, please independently validate the figures produced by it.
 It is not audited or validated by any of the regulators.

+# XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return) Examples
+
+This example demonstrates the Excel-compatible XIRR functionality provided by the `FSharp.Finance.Personal` library.
+
+## Basic Investment Example
+
+Consider a simple investment scenario where you invest $10,000 and receive $11,000 one year later:
+*)
+
+open System
+open FSharp.Finance.Personal
+
+// Basic investment: -$10,000 invested today, +$11,000 received in one year
+let basicInvestment = [
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 1), -10000m   // Investment outflow
+    DateTime(2025, 1, 1), 11000m    // Return inflow
+]
+
+let basicRate = Xirr.xirr basicInvestment
+printfn "Basic investment XIRR: %.2f%%" (basicRate * 100m)
+// Output: approximately 10.00%
+
+(**
+## Salary Advance Example
+
+A salary advance scenario where an employee receives $1,000 today and repays $1,030 in 30 days:
+*)
+
+// Salary advance: +$1,000 received today, -$1,030 repaid in 30 days
+let salaryAdvance = [
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 1), 1000m     // Advance received (inflow to borrower)
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 31), -1030m   // Repayment (outflow from borrower)
+]
+
+let salaryAdvanceRate = Xirr.xirr salaryAdvance
+printfn "Salary advance XIRR: %.2f%%" (salaryAdvanceRate * 100m)
+// Output: approximately 43.28% (very high due to short term)
+
+(**
+## Trade Credit Cashflow Example
+
+A simple trade credit scenario with multiple payments:
+*)
+
+// Trade credit: Invoice factoring with advance and final settlement
+let tradeCreditCashflows = [
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 1), -100000m   // Invoice amount (outflow to factor)
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 2), 85000m    // Advance payment (inflow from factor)
+    DateTime(2024, 3, 1), 14000m    // Final settlement minus fees (inflow from factor)
+]
+
+let tradeCreditRate = Xirr.xirr tradeCreditCashflows
+printfn "Trade credit XIRR: %.2f%%" (tradeCreditRate * 100m)
+// Output: effective rate for the factoring arrangement
+
+(**
+## Using Custom Guess
+
+When the default guess of 0.1 (10%) might not converge well, you can provide a custom initial guess:
+*)
+
+// Using a custom guess of 5% instead of the default 10%
+let customGuessRate = Xirr.xirrG 0.05m basicInvestment
+printfn "Custom guess XIRR: %.2f%%" (customGuessRate * 100m)
+
+(**
+## Safe Error Handling
+
+For production code, use `tryXirr` to handle potential calculation failures gracefully:
+*)
+
+let safeCalculation cashflows =
+    match Xirr.tryXirr cashflows with
+    | Ok rate -> 
+        printfn "XIRR: %.2f%%" (rate * 100m)
+    | Error message -> 
+        printfn "XIRR calculation failed: %s" message
+
+// Test with valid cashflows
+safeCalculation basicInvestment
+
+// Test with invalid cashflows (all positive)
+let invalidCashflows = [
+    DateTime(2024, 1, 1), 1000m
+    DateTime(2024, 6, 1), 1100m
+]
+safeCalculation invalidCashflows
+
+(**
+## Sign Convention
+
+**Important**: The XIRR calculation follows Excel's sign convention:
+
+- **Negative values**: Money going out (investments, loan disbursements, payments made)
+- **Positive values**: Money coming in (returns, loan payments received, income)
+
+From a **borrower's perspective**:
+- Loan disbursement: +1000m (money received)
+- Loan repayment: -1030m (money paid out)
+
+From an **investor's perspective**:
+- Investment: -10000m (money invested)
+- Return: +11000m (money received back)
+
+## Excel Compatibility
+
+This implementation uses the `ExcelFinancialFunctions` library to ensure complete compatibility with Excel's XIRR function, including:
+
+- Default guess value of 0.1 (10%)
+- Same convergence algorithm
+- Identical precision and rounding behavior
+
+The functions return annualized effective rates as decimal values (e.g., 0.10 for 10%).
