Understanding Your Investment Returns
This calculator projects your returns using compound interest, where your earnings generate their own earnings over time. The power of compounding means that even small regular investments can grow into substantial wealth over long periods. For example, investing just Rs 5,000 per month at 12% expected returns for 25 years can grow to over Rs 1 crore — of which only Rs 15 lakh is your own money and Rs 85 lakh is compounding returns. The key factors that determine your final corpus are: the amount invested, the rate of return, the duration of investment, and the frequency of compounding.
Important Considerations
Past returns do not guarantee future performance, especially for market-linked instruments like mutual funds and equities. The returns shown are estimates based on the rate you enter. Equity investments carry market risk but have historically delivered 12-15% CAGR over 15+ year periods in India. Fixed income options like PPF (7.1%) and FD (6-7.5%) offer lower but more predictable returns. Diversifying across asset classes — equity, debt, gold, and real estate — reduces overall portfolio risk while optimizing returns for your risk tolerance.

How much does a 2BHK renovation cost in India?

Which rooms give the best ROI when renovating?
Kitchen and bathrooms offer the highest return on renovation investment. A well-done kitchen renovation can return 70-80% of its cost in increased property value. Bathrooms return about 60-70%. Fresh painting gives the highest ROI at near 100% return because of its dramatic visual impact at low cost. Structural changes like adding rooms or balcony enclosures require municipal permissions and often cost more than they add in value.
Should I renovate or buy a new flat?
Compare your renovation cost to the price difference between your current home and the next upgrade. If your flat is worth Rs 60 lakh and upgrading to a comparable new flat costs Rs 80 lakh plus Rs 5-6 lakh in stamp duty and moving costs spending Rs 8-10 lakh on renovation is usually better value. However if the building is old with structural issues or your family has outgrown the space buying new makes more sense.
What is compound interest and why does it matter?
Compound interest means you earn interest on your interest, not just your principal. Over long periods, this creates exponential growth — even small regular investments can grow into substantial wealth over 15-25 years.
Is SIP better than lumpsum investment?
SIP invests a fixed amount monthly, averaging out market volatility through rupee cost averaging. Lumpsum works better when markets are low. For most investors, SIP builds discipline and removes the need to time the market.
How much should I invest monthly to become a crorepati?
At 12% expected returns, a monthly SIP of Rs 5,000 for 30 years grows to approximately Rs 1.76 crore. Increasing your SIP by 10% annually makes the corpus even larger. Start early, stay consistent.
Are investment returns taxable?
PPF returns are tax-free. Equity mutual fund LTCG above Rs 1.25 lakh/year is taxed at 12.5%. FD interest is taxed at your slab rate. NPS offers an additional Rs 50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B).
