See what a single, one-time investment could grow to when it compounds once a year at an assumed rate of return.

How much to invest monthly to reach a target corpus.
Recurring deposit — a fixed amount every month, compounded quarterly.
Public Provident Fund — yearly deposit, compounded annually (15-year lock-in).
Compare the New and Old regimes side by side (FY 2025-26). Enter deductions for the Old regime.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan — how long your corpus lasts while you draw a fixed amount each month.
Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana — deposit yearly for 15 years; matures in 21 years. Interest compounded annually, fully tax-free (EEE).
National Pension System — corpus at 60, then min 40% buys an annuity (pension).
Gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act = last salary (Basic + DA) × 15 ÷ 26 × years of service.
Estimate your monthly in-hand from annual CTC (New tax regime, standard assumptions).
How big a loan you may qualify for, from your income and existing EMIs (FOIR method).
What today's money will cost — and be worth — in the future.
FV = P × (1 + r)t
This is plain annual compounding: every year's growth is added to the amount and itself earns returns the following year.
₹5 lakh invested once, for 10 years, at an assumed 12% a year:
| Growth factor (1.12)10 | 3.1058 |
|---|---|
| Future value | ₹15,52,924 |
| Estimated gain | ₹10,52,924 |
The ₹5 lakh would grow to about ₹15,52,924 at that assumed rate.
