Formula & Context
A Calculation Is
Not a Forecast.
How It Works
Future value = Initial amount × (1 + annual rate)^years
Example
₹5,00,000 compounded at an assumed 10% a year for 10 years produces a mathematical future value of about ₹12.97 lakh before costs and taxes.
When It Is Useful
Use a lump-sum projection to understand the effect of compounding on one starting amount. Test several assumptions rather than relying on one optimistic return.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
These answers explain the mathematics and limitations. They do not assess whether a particular investment or strategy is suitable for you.
Is a lump sum better than a SIP?
Neither is universally better. The choice depends on available cash, time horizon, risk tolerance, market exposure and personal circumstances.
Does the calculator include taxes and fees?
No. The result is a simple compounding illustration before taxes, transaction costs, fund expenses or other charges.
Why should I try multiple return assumptions?
Because actual returns vary and are not known in advance. Scenario ranges help show how sensitive the future value is to the assumption.
Educational illustration only. Results depend entirely on the assumptions entered and do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or an assurance of future outcomes.
