Lump sum returns are calculated using the compound interest formula: FV = P × (1 + r)ⁿ, where P is the principal invested, r is the expected annual rate of return, and n is the number of years invested. Our calculator applies this instantly to show your projected corpus.
Lump sum works best when you have a large amount available and can invest during a market dip, potentially generating higher returns. SIP is better for regular income earners as it spreads risk over time through rupee-cost averaging. Many investors combine both strategies.
For equity mutual funds, a conservative long-term estimate is 10–12% annualised, based on historical Nifty/Sensex performance. For debt funds or fixed-income lump sum investments, 6–8% is more realistic. Returns are never guaranteed and depend on market conditions.
Wealth gain ratio shows how many times your original investment has grown — for example, a ratio of 3x means your money tripled over the investment period. It helps visualize the power of compounding beyond just the final amount.
