Lumpsum Calculator Answers | Toolance

A SIP is a fixed mutual-fund investment on a schedule, most often monthly, and an SWP is a scheduled withdrawal. The growth formula is compound interest, which is the same idea as dollar-cost averaging. The result is not a prediction of US, UK, EU or Indian fund returns, and it leaves out fees and tax.

A worked check

Investing 5,000 every month for 10 years at a 10% yearly assumption grows to about 1,032,760 if each deposit compounds monthly. You put in 600,000. The rest is growth on the assumption you typed, not a promised return. Fees, tax and a lower return reduce that figure.
