Lumpsum portion: A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t). Recurring portion (if any) uses the standard SIP future-value formula. The two are summed for the total.

Frequently asked questions

What is compound interest?
Interest calculated on both the original principal and the interest already earned — so growth accelerates over time, unlike simple interest.
How does compounding frequency change the result?
More frequent compounding (monthly > quarterly > annually) produces marginally higher returns for the same nominal rate, since interest starts earning interest sooner.
What's the difference from the FD Calculator?
This tool additionally supports a recurring monthly top-up on top of the initial deposit — an FD is a pure lumpsum product.
What's the difference from the SIP Calculator?
SIP assumes no starting lumpsum, only monthly contributions; this calculator lets you combine both.
