Mutual Fund Calculator
Calculate returns on mutual fund investments (lumpsum + SIP).
What is Mutual Fund Calculator?
A mutual fund calculator estimates the maturity value of your mutual fund investments — whether you invest a lump sum, a monthly SIP, or both. It uses the expected annual return rate and your investment tenure to project how your money can grow.
Mutual funds pool money from many investors to invest in stocks, bonds, and other assets. This calculator helps you plan your investments and set realistic expectations.
How does the Mutual Fund Calculator work?
Where r is the annual return, n is the tenure in years, and i is the monthly return rate for the SIP portion.
The calculator combines the lump sum growth and the SIP accumulation to show the total corpus.
