Assumptions and questions

Use these notes before treating a single projected corpus as a decision-ready number.

When should I use a lumpsum calculator?Tap to review the planning note
Use it when you already have a one-time amount to invest and want to estimate its future value over a selected time period.
Is lumpsum better than SIP?Tap to review the planning note
Lumpsum can work well when money is available upfront and the horizon is long, but SIP can reduce timing risk by spreading entries across market conditions.
Are the projected returns guaranteed?Tap to review the planning note
No. Mutual fund returns are market-linked. This calculator uses a constant return assumption only to help compare scenarios.
Why show inflation adjusted value?Tap to review the planning note
A future corpus can look large in nominal terms. Inflation adjusted value gives a rough view of what that corpus may be worth in today's purchasing power.

Methodology notes

Formula used

One-time investment compounding
FV = P x (1 + r)^t

The one-time investment compounds annually at the selected expected return for the chosen time period.

Methodology

  • Apply annual compounding at the selected expected return.
  • Separate final value into invested amount and estimated returns.

Core assumptions

  • Return remains constant across the investment period.
  • The investment stays fully invested until the end.
  • Inflation-adjusted value uses the calculator's inflation assumption where shown.

Guide

1What is a Lumpsum Calculator?

A lumpsum calculator estimates the future value of a one-time investment using an assumed annual return and investment period. It is useful when you want to invest an existing amount such as a bonus, maturity proceeds, asset sale proceeds, or idle savings.

2Lumpsum Formula

The future value is calculated as:

FV = P x (1 + r)^t

  • FV = Future value of the investment
  • P = One-time investment amount
  • r = Expected annual return rate
  • t = Investment period in years

3How to Use This Lumpsum Calculator

  • Step 1: Enter the one-time investment amount
  • Step 2: Set the expected annual return
  • Step 3: Choose the investment period
  • Step 4: Review final value, estimated returns, inflation-adjusted value, and yearly growth

4Lumpsum vs SIP

Lumpsum investing puts the full amount to work immediately, while SIP spreads investment over time. Lumpsum may benefit from longer time in the market, but SIP can reduce timing risk when markets are volatile.
