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.

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.
