  • Compound Mode: estimates long-term growth of principal under selected compounding frequency.
  • SIP Mode: estimates accumulated return from fixed periodic contributions.

Calculation Notes

Key Formulas

  • ROI: ROI = (Final Value - Total Investment) / Total Investment × 100%
  • Compound Final Value: Final Value = Principal × (1 + Rate / Frequency)^(Frequency × Years)
  • SIP Final Value: Final Value = Monthly SIP × ((1 + Monthly Rate)^Periods - 1) / Monthly Rate

Practical Tips

  • Longer horizons amplify compound growth, so timeline matters in plan comparison.
  • SIP can reduce timing risk and is suitable for volatile market conditions.
  • Compare annualized return with payback period for balanced decision making.
  • Results are for planning reference and may differ from real market outcomes.

Use Cases

  • Compare investment plans under different rates and timelines
  • Evaluate lump-sum versus periodic contribution strategies
  • Set return targets for funds and portfolio allocation
  • Run fast post-investment reviews with core metrics

Notes

  • Results are for planning reference; actual return depends on market movement, fees, and taxes.
  • Make decisions based on risk tolerance and broader asset allocation, not a single metric.
  • Revisit assumptions regularly and adjust your plan over time.
  • All calculations run locally in your browser without uploading investment data.
