How this mutual fund calculator actually works
Same maths that Groww, ET Money and every AMC's own SIP calculator use underneath — a compound interest formula applied monthly.
A SIP calculator doesn't predict returns — no calculator can. What it does is take an assumed rate of return (the number you type in) and compound it the way mutual funds actually compound: monthly, with a fresh instalment added each month before interest is applied to the whole pot.
FV = P × [ ( (1 + i)ⁿ − 1 ) / i ]P = monthly SIP amount · i = expected annual return ÷ 12 · n = number of months
For a lumpsum, there is no monthly instalment to add — it is a single amount left to compound at your expected annual rate: A = P × (1 + r)ⁿ, where r is the annual rate and n is the number of years. Step-up SIPs use the same monthly formula, but the instalment itself increases by your chosen percentage at the start of every year, so the calculator simulates it month by month.
Two numbers this calculator adds that most don't default to: the inflation-adjusted value — what your future corpus is worth in today's rupees — and the cost of delay — the real rupee amount you lose by pushing your start date back.
SIP vs Lumpsum: which one fits you
Choose SIP if…
You invest out of monthly salary, not a windfall
You want rupee-cost averaging through market ups and downs
You'd rather build the habit than time the market
Your goal is 5+ years away
Choose Lumpsum if…
You have a bonus, maturity payout or inheritance to deploy
You're comfortable with one-shot market timing risk
You can stomach short-term volatility on the full amount
You may also consider an STP into equity over a few months
Calculating SIPs for a specific fund house
The formula above is identical regardless of which AMC or platform you use — only the expected return assumption should change based on the fund's actual category and history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme-related documents carefully before investing. This calculator projects returns using an assumed constant annual rate you enter — it is an illustration of compounding, not a promise, guarantee, or prediction of actual fund performance. Past performance of any scheme is not indicative of future returns.
