  2. Enter the investment amount.
  3. Input your expected annual rate of return based on fund history.
  4. Set your investment duration in years.

Formula

Mutual fund returns are modeled using monthly compounding annuity formulas for SIPs or compound interest for lump sum deposits.

SIP Mutual Fund FormulaFV = P × [((1 + i)^n − 1) / i] × (1 + i)P = monthly investment, i = effective monthly interest rate, n = total months.
Lumpsum Mutual Fund FormulaFV = P × (1 + r)^tP = initial lump sum investment, r = annual return rate, t = duration in years.
