Lumpsum Calculator — FAQs
Lumpsum or SIP — which is better?▾
A lumpsum puts all money to work at once, which wins when markets rise steadily. A SIP spreads purchases over time and reduces the risk of investing just before a fall.
What is the rule of 72?▾
Divide 72 by the annual return to estimate the years to double your money. At 12% a year, money doubles in about 6 years.
Are lumpsum returns taxed?▾
Yes, as capital gains when you sell. Equity gains held over a year are taxed at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh per year.
