Can anyone calculate this return?

This is a compound interest question

I've just had a redemption (at maturity) figure from Phoenix (a "zombie" fund...previously RSA, when I took it out!) and was wondering what the approximate annual return has been.

The approximate nos are:
30 years of contributions
£420pa
£34750 payout at maturity

Many thanks to those who respond and know which buttons to press on their calculator :)

    5.93%pa based on annual contributions.

    Excel: =IRR(420,420,420, ...............,420,-34750)

    (with 30 lots of 420 in the brackets)

    Similarly 6.07%pa for a £35 per month premium.
