Search the forum for IRR, this was discussed around Jan 1st. There is more than one way.

The easiest way

(Beginning balance/ending balance)-1

If you had desposits

[(Beginning balance+deposits)/ending balance]-1

If you had several deposits over course of year, you could approximate it by

[(begin balance-.5*deposits)/(ending balance+.5*deposits)]-1
