Plan the Numbers Before You Invest

Three fast calculators for Indian investors — SIP, CAGR and lumpsum — with live ₹ results in Indian number format, an invested-versus-returns chart, the exact formula explained in plain English, and a worked example you can verify by hand.

Estimates only — projected values are not assured returns and this is not investment advice.

Three Calculators, Three Different Questions

Each tool answers one specific question. The inputs sync between a number field and a slider, results update live as you type, and every page shows its formula so you can audit the math.

SIP Calculator

Question it answers: "If I invest a fixed amount every month, what could it grow to?" Enter the monthly amount (₹500–₹1,00,000), an assumed annual return and the number of years. Uses the standard annuity-due SIP formula — FV = P × ((1+i)n − 1)/i × (1+i) — the same one mutual-fund platforms use. Example: ₹10,000/month at 12% for 10 years → about ₹23.23 lakh on ₹12 lakh invested.

CAGR Calculator

Question it answers: "My investment went from X to Y in N years — what was the annualized return?" Enter the starting value, ending value and holding period. Computes CAGR = (FV/PV)1/years − 1 plus total growth percent — the honest way to compare a 3-year fund against a 7-year stock. Example: ₹1,00,000 → ₹2,50,000 in 6 years is 16.50% CAGR, not 25% a year.

Lumpsum Calculator

Question it answers: "If I invest a single amount today, what could it become?" Enter the one-time amount, an assumed annual growth rate and the horizon. Uses compound interest — FV = PV × (1+r)years — with a year-by-year sense of how compounding accelerates. Example: ₹1 lakh at 12% for 15 years → about ₹5.47 lakh, of which ₹4.47 lakh is growth.

Choosing a Sensible Return Assumption in June 2026

Data as of

Every projection on this site is only as honest as the return you assume. Some grounding, from our research desk's data file: the Nifty 50 closed at 23,161.60 on June 11, 2026 (per Trading Economics) and the BSE Sensex at 73,832.55, with the Sensex reported down roughly 9.6% year-over-year amid foreign-fund outflows and Middle East tensions. Several index heavyweights are sharply negative over one year — TCS −38%, ITC −34%, Infosys −28%, HDFC Bank −24% — while SBI (+23%) and Eicher Motors (+34%) gained. That spread inside a single year is exactly why a flat assumed rate is a planning device, not a forecast.

Practical guidance for the calculators:

  • Equity (index funds, diversified large-cap): 10–12% is a common long-horizon planning band; run the same plan at 8% to see how sensitive your goal is.
  • Hybrid / conservative allocations: 8–10% is more defensible than equity-level assumptions.
  • Debt funds, FDs: use the actual quoted yield (typically 6–7.5% in mid-2026) rather than an equity-style number.
  • Short horizons (<5 years): treat any equity projection with suspicion — the current correction shows one-year outcomes can be deeply negative.

All market figures above are approximate as of the June 10–11, 2026 close, aggregated from public sources (Trading Economics, screener.in, Business Upturn and others), and should be re-verified before any decision. This is research aggregation, not investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these calculators free, and do they collect my data?

Yes, all three calculators are completely free, run entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript, and send nothing to any server. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no tracking of the amounts you enter.

Which calculator should I use — SIP, lumpsum or CAGR?

Use the SIP calculator when you invest a fixed amount every month, the lumpsum calculator when you invest a single one-time amount, and the CAGR calculator when you already know a starting value and an ending value and want the annualized growth rate between them. SIP and lumpsum project forward; CAGR measures backward.

What annual return should I assume for Indian equities?

Over 15-plus-year periods the Nifty 50 has historically compounded in the low double digits, so 10–12% is a common planning assumption — but it is an assumption, not a promise. As of the June 11, 2026 close the Sensex was reported down roughly 9.6% year-over-year, a reminder that returns arrive unevenly. Test your plan at 8% as well, and remember actual returns can be negative over shorter periods.

Do the calculator results include tax, expense ratios or inflation?

No. The results are pre-tax, pre-cost nominal values. Equity LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh per financial year is taxed at 12.5%, short-term gains at 20%, mutual funds charge an expense ratio, and inflation reduces real purchasing power. Treat the outputs as estimates for planning, not as predicted account balances.

Are the projected values assured returns?

No. The calculators apply a constant assumed growth rate that you choose; real market returns fluctuate year to year and can be negative. Investments in securities are subject to market risk, and nothing on this page is investment advice.
