How it works

How the Lumpsum calculator works

A lumpsum investment is a one-time amount invested in a mutual fund, as opposed to spreading it out via SIP. This calculator projects the future value of that amount using compound growth — your money grows at the expected annual rate, compounding every year until the end of the tenure.

Lumpsum investing tends to suit money that is already sitting idle (a bonus, maturity proceeds, or inheritance) and works best when you have a longer time horizon to ride out short-term market swings, since the entire amount is exposed to the market from day one.

For example, a ₹5L lumpsum at an assumed 12% annual return grows to roughly ₹15.5L over 10 years — more than triples — purely from compounding, with no further contributions required.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a lumpsum investment?
A lumpsum investment means putting in the entire amount at once, rather than spreading it across several instalments. The whole sum starts compounding from day one.
Lumpsum vs SIP — which is better?
Neither is universally better. Lumpsum can outperform when markets are entered at a favourable time and left to compound for long periods; SIP reduces timing risk by averaging your entry price. Use the Lumpsum vs SIP calculator to compare both for your specific numbers.
Is a lumpsum investment riskier than a SIP?
A lumpsum exposes the full amount to market movements immediately, so short-term volatility affects it more than a SIP, where later instalments buy in at different price points. Over a long horizon this difference tends to matter less.
