Calculation Formula

Maturity Amount: P × (1 + r)^n

Inflation Impact Formula

Inflation-Adjusted Value: P × (1 + i)^n

Purchasing Power Loss: Inflation-Adjusted Value - Principal

Real Returns: Net Maturity Amount - Inflation-Adjusted Value

Where: P = Principal Amount, r = Rate of Return, n = Time Period

Note: This calculator shows pre-tax returns. Actual returns may vary based on tax implications and market conditions.

Lumpsum Investment Calculation Formulas

Understand the mathematical formulas used to calculate lumpsum investment returns and growth.

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n

Example:

₹10,00,000 invested at 12% annual return for 10 years

10,00,000 × (1 + 0.12)^10
= ₹31,05,848

Variables:

FV - Future value of investment
PV - Present value (initial investment)
r - Annual return rate (as decimal)
n - Number of years

Total Returns = Future Value - Initial Investment

Example:

For ₹10,00,000 growing to ₹31,05,848

31,05,848 - 10,00,000
= ₹21,05,848

Variables:

Future Value - Final value of investment
Initial Investment - Amount initially invested

These formulas provide the mathematical foundation for the calculations. Actual results may vary based on rounding, compounding frequency, and specific lender policies.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lumpsum Calculator

Get answers to common questions about lumpsum investments

What is a lumpsum investment?

A lumpsum investment is a one-time investment of a large amount in financial instruments like mutual funds, stocks, or fixed deposits, as opposed to systematic investments over time.

When should I choose lumpsum over SIP?

Lumpsum is suitable when you have a large amount available, market conditions are favorable, and you have a long investment horizon. SIP is better for regular income and risk management.

How are taxes calculated on lumpsum investments?

Taxes depend on the investment period and asset class. Long-term gains (over 1 year) are taxed at 10% for equity and 20% for debt with indexation. Short-term gains are taxed at 15% for equity and slab rate for debt.

What is the impact of inflation on lumpsum returns?

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of your returns. Even with positive nominal returns, real returns (after inflation) might be negative. The calculator shows inflation-adjusted values and real returns.

Can I withdraw from lumpsum investments early?

Yes, most lumpsum investments allow early withdrawal, but there may be exit loads, penalties, or tax implications. The calculator helps you understand these costs.

How do I choose the right asset class for lumpsum?

Consider your risk tolerance, investment horizon, and tax situation. Equity offers higher returns but higher risk, debt provides stability, and hybrid options offer balanced exposure.

What is the difference between lumpsum and SIP returns?

Lumpsum returns depend on market timing and entry point, while SIP benefits from rupee cost averaging and reduces market timing risk. The calculator shows both scenarios for comparison.

How often should I review my lumpsum investments?

Review annually or when there are significant life changes. Consider rebalancing if asset allocation drifts from your target or if market conditions change significantly.
