📐 Mathematical Methodology & Verification

Standard mode: FV = P × (1 + r)ⁿ
Goal mode: Required Deposit = Target ÷ (1 + r)ⁿ
Post-Tax Wealth = Total Corpus − max(0, (Gain − ₹1,25,000) × 12.5%)

Why tax/inflation are disabled in Goal mode: Goal-Based mode solves backward from a target number you specify. Silently deducting tax or discounting for inflation after that solve would mean the corpus you end up with is no longer the target you asked for — this calculator disables both toggles in that mode rather than quietly changing what "hitting your goal" means.

Frequently Asked Questions

For Equity Mutual Funds, capital gains realized after 1 year are taxed at 12.5% on amounts exceeding ₹1.25 Lakh per financial year.

When should I choose Lumpsum over SIP? ▼

Lumpsum investments yield optimal results during market downturns/corrections or when you receive a lump sum such as an annual bonus, property liquidation, or maturing deposit.

How does inflation impact my purchasing power? ▼

Inflation erodes future buying power. With inflation adjustment turned on, the calculator converts your future corpus into today's equivalent rupee value.
