Lumpsum + SIP Calculator
Calculate your investment growth with lump sum and SIP contributions.
What is the Lumpsum + SIP Calculator & How does it work?
A Lumpsum + SIP Calculator helps investors understand how their investments grow over time. It combines the power of a one-time lump sum investment with regular Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs). This approach can optimize returns by taking advantage of compounding interest.
The formula for calculating the future value of a lump sum is:
For SIPs, the future value is calculated using the formula:
The formula for calculating the future value of a lump sum is:
FV_{text{lumpsum}} = P times (1 + r)^n
FV_{text{lumpsum}} = Future value of lump sum
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate
n = Number of years
P = Principal amount
r = Annual interest rate
n = Number of years
For SIPs, the future value is calculated using the formula:
FV_{text{SIP}} = frac{M times [(1 + r)^n – 1]}{r}
FV_{text{SIP}} = Future value of SIPs
M = Monthly investment amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Total number of months
M = Monthly investment amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
n = Total number of months
