What is Lumpsum?

Project a one-time investment into the future.

What does the Lumpsum Calculator do?

The Lumpsum Calculator takes your own numbers and projects the result using the method described below, showing every assumption rather than a single opaque figure.

How this is calculated — the formula

A single lumpsum compounds annually at your chosen CAGR: value = amount × (1+rate)^years. Unlike SIP, timing matters enormously here — the entire amount is exposed to market returns from day one, so sequence-of-returns risk is higher.

Tax treatment

Equity investments held over 1 year qualify for LTCG, taxed at 12.5% above a ₹1.25L exemption per year (July 2024 rules); under 1 year is short-term, taxed at 20%. Debt/other funds are taxed at your slab regardless of holding period.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lumpsum Calculator's result a guaranteed outcome?

No — every figure here is an illustrative projection based on the assumptions you enter, not a promised or guaranteed return. Change any input to see how the result moves.

Is tax already accounted for?

Equity investments held over 1 year qualify for LTCG, taxed at 12.5% above a ₹1.25L exemption per year (July 2024 rules); under 1 year is short-term, taxed at 20%. Debt/other funds are taxed at your slab regardless of holding period.
