How the lumpsum calculator works

A lumpsum (one-time) investment puts the full amount to work on day one. Returns compound each year: you earn on both the principal and earlier gains.

This is the standard future-value approach used for mutual fund lumpsum plans in India and for one-time investments elsewhere. Change the currency in your head - the formula stays the same.

Future value = P × (1 + r)ⁿ
P = principal • r = expected annual return • n = years

How to use this calculator

Enter the one-time amount you plan to invest.
Set an expected annual return that matches the risk level you are comfortable with.
Choose the number of years and review future value, wealth gained and absolute return.

Worked example

Example: ₹5,00,000 at 12% for 10 years grows to about ₹15,52,924 before costs and tax.
