Financial calculators are an important tool of financial planning. One of the most popular calculators in personal finance planning is the lumpsum calculator. You can understand the lumpsum calculator in terms of two applications.


•    Lumpsum calculator can be used to determine, how much a fixed corpus invested today would be worth after a certain number of years and assuming a certain CAGR returns over this period.

•    The other application of the lumpsum calculator is actually to look at the above situation in reverse. In practice, we need to know how much corpus we need today to meet our future goals. Lumpsum calculator can be use for goal planning also.

The table captures how much a fixed corpus of Rs.500,000 today will grow at the end of different time periods. The MF portfolio is expected to appreciate at 14% CAGR.

The lumpsum calculator clearly shows how a fixed corpus grows on its own over different periods of time. Clearly, the longer you hold, the better it is.

Lumpsum calculator for goal planning

A more practical way is to use a lumpsum calculator for goal planning. For example, if you target to reach a corpus of Rs.1 crore after 20 years in mutual funds at a CAGR of 14%, what would be the initial investment requirement. Here again, the lumpsum calculator can show you how much you need to start off with today.
