About Lumpsum Calculator
There are two main ways to invest in a mutual fund. One is through an SIP and the other is through lumpsum investments. For lumpsum investments, you can invest a bigger sum of money, larger than an SIP, in a mutual fund through a one-time payment. Such payments don’t have to be made at a frequency like SIPs. But before you make such an investment, it is advisable to use a lumpsum investment calculator because it:
- Helps you understand the expected returns on your investment over a period.
- Helps with picking the suitable tenure for the investment if you already know the amount to invest
- Allows you to see the returns over your chosen time period and adjust them to find a more suitable tenure
- Helps chose investment horizons that match your financial goals
