Savings Calculator – Plan Your Financial Future

The Savings Calculator helps you estimate how your investments will grow over time with compound interest. Whether you're saving for retirement, a child's education, or a big purchase, this tool helps you visualize your financial future.

Simply enter your initial investment, monthly contributions, expected return rate, and time period to see how your money can grow.

Formula:

Future Value = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)]
Where:
P = principal investment amount
r = annual interest rate (decimal)
n = number of times interest is compounded per year
t = time the money is invested for (years)
PMT = monthly payment

Example:

An initial investment of ₹1,00,000 with monthly contributions of ₹10,000 at 8% annual return for 10 years grows to ₹23,04,481.

FAQs:

How does compound interest work?

Compound interest means you earn interest on both your original investment and on the interest you've already earned. Over time, this creates a snowball effect where your money grows at an accelerating rate. The longer your investment period, the more powerful compounding becomes.

What is a good rate of return for savings in India?

In India, typical returns vary by investment type:

  • Savings accounts: 3-4%
  • Fixed deposits: 5-7%
  • Debt mutual funds: 6-8%
  • Equity mutual funds: 10-12% (long-term average)
  • PPF: ~7-8%

For long-term goals (5+ years), equity investments typically offer higher returns but with more volatility.

Why consider inflation in savings calculations?

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time. In India, average inflation has been around 6%. ₹1 lakh today will only have the purchasing power of about ₹54,000 in 10 years at 6% inflation. The inflation-adjusted value shows your savings in today's purchasing power terms.
