About Mutual Fund Calculator
What is a Mutual Fund Calculator?
A mutual fund calculator helps you estimate the potential returns on your mutual fund investments. It supports two main investment methods: SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and Lump Sum investments.
Investment Methods
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)
SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (usually monthly) in a mutual fund. This approach helps in:
- Rupee Cost Averaging: Buying more units when prices are low and fewer when high
- Disciplined Investing: Regular investment habit building
- Flexibility: Start with small amounts and increase over time
Lump Sum Investment
A one-time investment of a larger amount. This is suitable when you have a surplus amount to invest at once.
Understanding the Formulas
SIP Future Value Formula
FV = P × {[(1 + r)^n – 1] / r} × (1 + r)
Where:
- FV = Future Value
- P = Monthly investment amount
- r = Monthly rate of return (annual rate / 12)
- n = Total number of months
Lump Sum Future Value Formula
FV = P × (1 + r)^n
Where:
- FV = Future Value
- P = Principal (initial investment)
- r = Annual rate of return
- n = Number of years
