Formula to Calculate Mutual Fund Returns

Understanding the formulas used in the mutual fund calculator can give you deeper insight into how your investments grow over time. The tool employs two primary formulas based on the investment type:

1. Lump Sum Investment Formula:

FV = P ×(
1 +rn
)(n × t)

Where:

  • FV = Future Value (Maturity Amount)
  • P =Principal Amount (Initial Lump Sum Investment)
  • r =Annual rate of return (in decimal form)
  • n =Number of compounding periods in a year
  • t =Time (Investment duration in years)

2. SIP Investment Formula:

FV =E × (1 + r)n - 1r× (1 + r)

Where:

  • FV = Future Value of SIP
  • P =Monthly Investment Amount
  • r =Monthly Rate of Return (Annual Rate of Return divided by 12)
  • n =Total Number of Monthly Investments (Years × 12)

By using the calculator, you can concentrate on strategic financial planning rather than the intricacy of manual calculations.

Mutual Fund Calculator FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Mutual Fund Calculator can seem complex, but we’ve got you covered. Our comprehensive FAQ section answers common questions like:

Is it possible for a mutual fund calculator to forecast real returns?

No, the calculator for mutual funds gives you estimations based on your inputs and rate of return assumptions. Market swings and other variables may cause actual returns to differ.

Does the calculator take mutual fund return taxes and fees into account?

The calculator does not directly account for fund management fees and taxes. When estimating net returns, these should be taken into consideration independently.

Can I use the calculator to compare returns from several mutual fund schemes?

Yes, you can compare possible returns from several mutual fund schemes by entering different projected return rates and durations.

Is market volatility taken into consideration by the mutual fund calculator?

No, the calculator makes the assumption that the rate of return will remain constant during the investment period. It doesn't adapt to changes in the market on the fly.

Can the mutual fund calculator mimic SIP versus lump sum investments?

Indeed, you can use the calculator to determine the returns on both lump sum and SIP investments, enabling you to compare which strategy best suits your objectives.

What errors should I stay away from while using the calculator for mutual funds?

  • Unrealistic Expectations for Return: Steer clear of entering excessively optimistic rates of return.
  • Ignoring Inflation: Do not forget to take into account how inflation will affect the future worth of your investments.
  • Short-Term Focus: Avoid utilising short durations for calculations; mutual funds are better suited for long-term objectives.

What taxes are applicable on mutual funds?

Depending on the kind of fund you invest in, tax rates can change. While LTCG exceeding Rs. 1,25,000 is subject to 12.5% taxation, STCG is fixed at 20% for equity-oriented funds. STCG remains 20% for debt funds, while LTCG on debt is taxed based on the investor's tax slab.
