How to use this tool

  1. Enter your one-time investment

    The amount you are investing today — a bonus, maturity proceeds, or a transfer from savings.

  2. Set expected return and years

    Pick an annual return assumption (12% is common for equity, 7% for debt) and how long you will stay invested.

  3. Read the future value and growth table

    The result card shows final value, gain and the growth multiple; the table below shows the value at the end of every year.

Questions people ask

What will ₹1 lakh become in 10 years?

At 12% p.a. compounded annually, ₹1 lakh grows to about ₹3.11 lakh in 10 years — a 3.1× multiple. At 8% it reaches about ₹2.16 lakh. The year-by-year table shows the full path for your rate.

How is lumpsum growth calculated?

Future value = P × (1 + r)ᵗ, where P is your investment, r the annual return and t the years — annual compounding, the standard convention for one-time investment projections.

Lumpsum or SIP — which is better?

A lumpsum puts all your money to work immediately, which wins when markets rise steadily; a SIP spreads entries and averages your purchase cost, which helps in volatile markets and suits monthly incomes. Run both — this page for lumpsum, our SIP calculator for instalments — and compare final values.

Why does the growth speed up in later years?

That is compounding: each year the return is earned on an already-grown amount. In the year-by-year table you can see the gain added in year 10 is far larger than in year 1, even though the rate never changed.

Is the projected return guaranteed?

No — this is a projection at a steady assumed rate. Real market returns fluctuate, so treat the output as a planning estimate and stress-test it at lower rates.

Does this calculator send my numbers anywhere?
