Worked example

Starting with ₹1,00,000 and adding ₹5,000 every month for 10 years at 10% grows to about ₹12,94,929. You contribute ₹7,00,000 in total; the rest — ₹5,94,929 — is compounding at work.

Compound interest formula

With a lump sum only, the value grows as:

A = P × (1 + r/n)n×t

When you add regular contributions, each contribution also compounds for the remaining periods, which this calculator computes period by period.

Why time is the biggest lever

Because interest earns interest, the final years contribute the most growth. Extending the duration usually increases the outcome far more than a similar increase in contribution — try it with the sliders.

Simple vs compound interest

Simple interest is charged only on the original principal, so it grows in a straight line. Compound interest is charged on principal plus accumulated interest, so growth accelerates over time. Compare the two with the Simple Interest calculator.

Assumptions & Limitations

  • Assumes a constant rate and regular contributions every period.
  • Contributions are added at the end of each compounding period.
  • Taxes and fees are not modelled.
  • Outputs are illustrations of your assumptions, not guarantees.
