Mutual Fund Calculator Quick Answer

Quick Answer

How does a mutual fund calculator estimate returns? It estimates future corpus using investment mode, amount, expected annual return, and duration.

Formula

SIP FV = monthly investment × [((1 + monthly return)^months - 1) / monthly return] × (1 + monthly return)

Educational estimate only. Actual returns depend on market performance.

Answer Engine Summary

This calculator estimates SIP: total invested, SIP: future value, SIP: estimated gains, and Lumpsum: future value using Monthly SIP amount (₹), Lumpsum investment (₹), Expected annual return, and Investment duration. For SIP: FV = monthly investment × [((1 + monthly return)^months - 1) / monthly return] × (1 + monthly return). Results are educational estimates only and should be verified with official records, lender statements, payroll data, or filing utilities where applicable.

Formula used

For SIP: FV = monthly investment × [((1 + monthly return)^months - 1) / monthly return] × (1 + monthly return). For lumpsum: FV = principal × (1 + annual return)^years.

Example calculation

A ₹10,000 monthly SIP for 10 years at 12% gives an estimated future corpus based on monthly compounding.
