About Lumpsum Calculator

Lumpsum calculator is a tool by m.Stock that helps you calculate the future value of your lumpsum investment. As you know, lumpsum and Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) are two of the most popular ways of investing in mutual funds. While SIP gives you the flexibility of investing small amounts every month, lumpsum investment involves investing the entire corpus in one go. Since lumpsum investing involves timing the market and accessibility to a large sum of money, retail investors tend to shy away from lumpsum investing. But lumpsum investment works like a charm especially in a rising market where you can lap up mutual fund units in large quantities at one go instead of averaging via SIPs and missing out on market opportunities.

How Does a Lumpsum Calculator Work?

A lumpsum return calculator helps you save both time and effort in manually calculating the future value of an investment and assists in faster decision making. A lumpsum calculator uses three basic parameters to calculate the future value of an investment:

  • Lumpsum investment amount
  • Number of years
  • Expected returns

Here is an example to help you understand how a lumpsum calculator works. Suppose you have made a one-time investment of ₹1 Lakh in a mutual fund scheme for a period of 5 years, expecting a return of 15% p.a. In this case, the future value of your lumpsum investment will be ₹1,00,000*(1+15%)^5, which is equal to ₹2,01,136.

FAQs

What is the definition of a lumpsum investment?

When an investor chooses to invest a large amount in one single transaction, it is referred to as a lumpsum investment.

What is the difference between a SIP and a lumpsum investment?

While lumpsum investments are made at one go, SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) allows you to invest in smaller amounts every month.

When is a lumpsum investment preferred?

If you have received a sudden windfall, like an inheritance or bonus, it makes more sense to invest that money in one shot. While doing so, it is important to carefully consider the market conditions and evaluate the details of the mutual fund before choosing to invest in it.

How can I invest a lumpsum amount?

To make a lumpsum investment in mutual funds, you need to open a demat account with m.Stock. This is easily done online, in a matter of a few minutes. After the account is active, you can visit the mutual fund's section on the m.Stock web portal or the m.Stock app to choose the funds to invest in, and click on lumpsum investment as the preferred mode of investment.

What are the benefits of SIP over lumpsum while investing in a mutual fund?

Both SIP and lumpsum investments have their own merits and limitations.


  • SIP is a more disciplined way of investing that creates a healthy financial routine.
  • You can start a SIP with as little as ₹100 every month.
  • SIP purchase is made at monthly intervals with varying market conditions. This helps offset market volatility in the long run and provides the benefit of rupee-cost averaging.
