Lumpsum Investment Calculator

Calculate returns on a one-time lumpsum investment in mutual funds. See how your money grows with compound interest over time.

A lumpsum investment is a one-time investment of a larger amount, unlike SIP which spreads it monthly. Lumpsum works best when you have surplus cash and believe markets are at reasonable levels. This calculator shows how your one-time investment grows over time.

Tips for Lumpsum Investment

1

Lumpsum works best when markets are down or fairly valued — you benefit from the full recovery

2

If unsure about timing, split your lumpsum into 3-6 monthly STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) installments

3

Lumpsum beats SIP when markets go up consistently — SIP beats lumpsum in volatile markets

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I invest lumpsum or SIP?
If markets are down and you have surplus cash: lumpsum. If you earn monthly and want disciplined investing: SIP. Most financial advisors recommend SIP for regular income earners and lumpsum for windfalls (bonus, inheritance).
