- Enter SIP amount — Choose the amount you plan to invest each month, quarter, or year.
- Enter Lump Sum — Add your one-time investment.
- Set Rate and Term — Fill the expected annual return and investment years.
- Review Output — The SIP + Lumpsum Calculator splits the result into principal and estimated gains.
Formula & Theory - SIP + Lumpsum Calculator
The SIP + Lumpsum Calculator combines two well-known formulas:
SIP_FV = P × ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r × (1 + r)
Lump_FV = L × (1 + r_annual)^years
Total_FV = SIP_FV + Lump_FV| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| P | SIP contribution per period |
| L | Lump sum invested today |
| r | Periodic rate (annual rate divided by periods per year) |
| n | Total number of SIP periods |
| Total_FV | Combined future value of SIP and lump sum |
Assumptions and Limits
The SIP + Lumpsum Calculator assumes a constant rate of return and ignores taxes, transaction fees, and inflation. Real markets deliver variable returns, so treat the result as a planning estimate.
Use Cases for SIP + Lumpsum Calculator
The SIP + Lumpsum Calculator is helpful for:
- Mutual fund and ETF planning — Combine monthly SIPs with bonus money or windfalls.
- Retirement projection — Forecast a long-horizon portfolio with steady contributions plus a starting balance.
