The short answer

A ₹5 lakh one-time investment growing at 12% annually becomes roughly ₹15.5 lakh in 10 years — triple your money without adding a rupee more. Lumpsum works best when markets are reasonably valued and you can leave the money untouched for 7+ years.

How to use the lumpsum calculator

  1. Enter your one-time investment amount.
  2. Set expected returns and tenure.
  3. See the projected growth and gains.

Lumpsum Calculator — FAQs

SIP vs lumpsum — which is better?

Neither universally. Lumpsum wins if markets rise steadily after you invest; SIP wins by averaging out volatility. If you have the full amount and a 7+ year horizon, lumpsum has historically edged ahead.

What returns should I assume?

Indian equity mutual funds have delivered roughly 11–13% over long periods, but use 10–12% for conservative planning. Debt funds: 6–8%.

When should I avoid lumpsum?

When markets are at stretched valuations and your horizon is short (under 3 years) — a staggered entry or SIP is safer then.

Is the projected amount guaranteed?

No. Market returns fluctuate; the calculator shows a smooth projection. Actual results will zigzag around it.
