What is the Lumpsum Calculator?

A lumpsum calculator shows what a one-time investment could be worth after a number of years. Enter the amount — a bonus, a maturity payout, an inheritance — the annual return you expect and how long you will leave it invested, and it shows the projected value and how much of it is growth.

The money compounds once a year, so each year’s return is earned on the previous years’ returns as well as on what you put in. The year-by-year table makes that snowball visible, and comparing a few return rates shows how much the choice between equity, hybrid and debt funds matters over a long horizon. Everything is calculated in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Enter the amount you are investing once.
  2. Enter the annual return you expect.
  3. Enter how many years you will stay invested.
  4. Read the projected value, gains and the year-by-year table.

Frequently asked questions

How is the lumpsum value calculated?
FV = P × (1 + r)^n, where P is the amount invested, r is the annual return as a decimal and n is the number of years. ₹5 lakh at 12% for 10 years becomes about ₹15.53 lakh.
Is a lumpsum better than a SIP?
If you already have the money and markets rise steadily, investing it all at once earns more because more money is invested for longer. A SIP spreads the risk of investing just before a fall. Many people split the difference by moving a lumpsum in over a few months.
Are the returns guaranteed?
No. Market-linked investments go up and down, and the projection assumes the same return every year. Use it to compare scenarios, not as a promise.
