About Lumpsum Calculator
A lumpsum investment involves investing a single, large amount of money at one time rather than making periodic investments. This lumpsum calculator helps you estimate the potential returns on your one-time investment based on the principal amount, expected annual return rate, and investment duration.
How Lumpsum Calculator Works
- The calculator uses the compound interest formula: A = P × (1 + r)^n
- Where A = Final Amount, P = Principal Investment, r = Annual Rate of Return (as decimal), n = Number of years
- Compound interest is calculated annually in this calculator
- You can adjust the investment amount, expected return rate, and time period to see different scenarios
