How does the Lumpsum Calculator work?
A Lumpsum investment is a single, one-time payment made into a financial instrument like mutual funds or fixed deposits. The calculator uses the power of compound interest to estimate how much your money will grow over a given period at a specified interest rate.
Intelligence Insight: For longer durations, equity mutual funds usually beat traditional savings tools due to compounding and historically higher return rates, although they carry more risk.
The Formula
FV = P × (1 + R)^N
- FV: Future Value or the amount you get at maturity
- P: Principal investment amount
- R: Estimated annual rate of return (in percentage / 100)
- N: Number of years
