Frequently asked questions

How is SIP return calculated?

Maturity value = P x [((1 + i)^n - 1) / i] x (1 + i), where P is the monthly amount, i is the annual rate / 12 and n is the number of months. ₹5,000 a month at 12% for 10 years gives about ₹11.62 lakh on ₹6 lakh invested. Market returns are not guaranteed.

How do I calculate the future value of a lump sum mutual fund investment?

Future value = amount x (1 + annual return)^years. ₹1,00,000 at 12% for 10 years becomes 1,00,000 x 1.12^10, which is about ₹3,10,585. Choose Lump Sum in the calculator, enter the amount, expected return and tenure.

SIP vs lump sum: which is better?

Neither is always better. A SIP spreads money over many months, which suits regular income and averages out price swings. A lump sum can grow more if the market rises soon after, but it faces more timing risk. Use the tool to compare both.

What return rate should I enter for a mutual fund calculator?

The rate is your assumption, not a promise. Past returns do not guarantee future returns, and equity, debt and hybrid funds behave differently. A conservative rate gives a safer estimate, so try a few rates to see the range of outcomes.

Does the mutual fund calculator include expense ratio, exit load and tax?

No. The result is a gross estimate using one constant rate, so expense ratio, exit load and capital gains tax are not deducted. If you enter a rate net of the expense ratio, the result is closer to reality.

Why does the SIP result assume monthly compounding but lump sum yearly?

In SIP mode, the annual rate is divided by 12 and applied monthly to each instalment, invested at the start of the month. In lump sum mode, the rate compounds once a year. Because of these methods, the two modes are not exactly comparable at the same rate.

Is my data shared when using the Mutual Fund Calculator?

No. Toolskyt operates under a zero-server policy. All calculations, data formatting, and file exports are executed locally on your machine.

Do I need to sign up or pay to use the Mutual Fund Calculator?

No, this tool is 100% free. There are no limits, sign-ups, subscriptions, or hidden charges required.

What is a reducing interest rate?

A reducing interest rate means interest is charged only on the remaining outstanding principal balance at the end of each period, rather than the initial loan amount.
