Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates how much your initial investment will grow over time with compound interest, assuming a fixed annual return rate.
Details: Calculating future value helps investors make informed decisions about their investments, set realistic financial goals, and understand the power of compounding in wealth creation.
Tips: Enter principal amount in INR, annual interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.12 for 12%), and investment period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is compound interest?
A: Compound interest is interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods, allowing your investment to grow exponentially over time.
Q2: How accurate are these calculations?
A: These calculations provide estimates based on fixed annual returns. Actual mutual fund returns may vary due to market fluctuations and fund performance.
Q3: Should I consider inflation in my calculations?
A: Yes, for long-term planning, it's recommended to use real returns (nominal returns minus inflation rate) to get a more accurate picture of your purchasing power.
Q4: Can I use this for SIP calculations?
A: This calculator is for lump-sum investments. For Systematic Investment Plans (SIP), a different formula accounting for regular contributions is needed.
Q5: What factors affect mutual fund returns?
A: Market conditions, fund management, expense ratio, economic factors, and investment duration all influence actual returns.
