What is Lumpsum Investment?
A lumpsum investment is when you invest a large amount of money in one go, as opposed to investing smaller amounts periodically (like SIP). This approach is ideal when you have surplus funds from a bonus, inheritance, property sale, or savings that you want to invest for long-term wealth creation.
Lumpsum investing in mutual funds or other financial instruments can yield significant returns over time due to the power of compounding. However, the timing of your investment becomes crucial as you're exposed to market conditions at the time of investment.
How Lumpsum Returns are Calculated
The lumpsum calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate future value:
A = P × (1 + r)^n
- A = Future Value (Maturity Amount)
- P = Principal (Lumpsum Investment)
- r = Annual Rate of Return (decimal)
- n = Time Period in years
Example Lumpsum Calculation
Suppose you invest ₹5,00,000 as a lumpsum for 15 years with an expected annual return of 12%.
- Lumpsum Investment (P): ₹5,00,000
- Investment Duration: 15 years
- Expected Annual Return: 12%
- Maturity Value: ₹27,36,684
- Total Returns: ₹22,36,684
- Wealth Multiplier: 5.47x
