Lumpsum Calculator — FV Explained

A lumpsum projection answers: if I invest a single amount today at an assumed annual return for n years, what might the future value be? TryCalculatingNow’s calculator is illustrative math only — not investment, tax, or product advice.

Formula (annual compound)

FV = P × (1 + r)^n

Symbol	Meaning
P	Principal (one-time investment)
r	Assumed annual rate as a decimal (12% → 0.12)
n	Years
FV	Future value illustration

Products that compound monthly or daily, or charge fees, will differ. Treat the output as a scenario, not a promise.

Worked example (illustration)

₹100,000 at 12% for 10 years (annual compound):

100,000 × (1.12)^10 ≈ ₹310,585

Change the rate or years and the path moves quickly — that sensitivity is the point of the tool.

Lumpsum vs SIP vs compound + contributions

Model	Cash flow	Typical question
Lumpsum	One deposit	“What if I invest this bonus?”

Compound + monthly	Starting balance + deposits	Mixed scenarios

Inflation reminder

A large nominal corpus is not spending power. Pair long horizons with an inflation calculator when you care about real goals.

FAQ

Is the rate the same as a fund’s CAGR?

No. Calculators use an assumed rate. Actual returns vary.

Monthly compounding?

This tool compounds yearly for a clear estimate. For finer schedules, use the compound interest calculator.

Does lumpsum beat SIP?

It depends on timing, amount, and returns — not a universal rule. Model both; do not treat either output as advice.
