📈 Mutual Fund Returns Calculator
Estimate the future value of your mutual fund investments by combining Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) with one-time Lumpsum deposits.
Mutual Funds: SIP vs Lumpsum
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
A SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (usually monthly) into a mutual fund. This builds strong discipline and takes advantage of Rupee Cost Averaging, meaning you buy more units when the market is down and fewer when it is up, smoothing out market volatility.
Lumpsum Investment
A lumpsum is a one-time bulk investment. This strategy works best if you have a large chunk of idle cash (like a bonus or property sale) and the market valuation is relatively fair or low. Lumpsum investments benefit heavily from the power of compounding right from day one.
Combining Both
Many investors use a hybrid approach: they start with an initial Lumpsum deposit to kickstart their portfolio, and then continue adding to it every month via SIP. This calculator lets you simulate the exact exponential growth of combining both methods simultaneously.
