Lump Sum Calculator
Estimate how a one-time investment may grow over time. Returns are assumptions, not promises, and this is an educational estimate, not investment advice.
Your investment details
Expected return is an assumption, not a promise. Test different cases separately.

What this means
Based on your inputs, ₹5,00,000 may grow to ₹15.53 Lakh over 10 years. The estimated gain is ₹10.53 Lakh. A corpus means the total amount built up by the end of the period.
What can change this
Lower returns, higher inflation, tax, exit loads, expense ratios, lock-ins, premature withdrawal penalties, and market volatility can reduce the final amount.
What to check next
Check product documents for tax treatment, exit load, lock-in, premature withdrawal rules, and expense ratio before relying on the estimate.

Understanding lump sum growthCompounding, return assumptions, today's money, timing risk, and when to use this calculator.
What is a lump sum investment?
A lump sum investment is a single amount invested upfront. This calculator estimates how that amount may grow over time under the return assumption you enter.
How compounding works
Compounding means the investment can earn returns on earlier returns. Longer periods can make compounding more visible, but the outcome still depends on actual returns.
Expected return is only an assumption
The return rate is not guaranteed. Market-linked investments can rise or fall after you invest, and a fixed return product may have separate product rules.
Today's money
Today's money converts the estimated future corpus into current purchasing power. It helps show how inflation can reduce what a future amount feels like.
When to use this calculator
Use this page to test a bonus, matured FD amount, inheritance, or other one-time amount across different return assumptions and time periods.
Example calculation
Suppose you invest ₹5 lakh for 10 years at a 12% annual return assumption. The calculator estimates the future value, estimated gains, wealth multiple, and what the future value may feel like in today's money. Try lower and higher return assumptions to see how sensitive the result is.
