Frequently asked

What's the difference between "invest for" and "stay invested for"?

"Invest for" is how many years you actively contribute. "Stay invested for" is the total number of years before you'd withdraw — money keeps compounding after contributions stop, right up until the end of that longer period. Set them equal if you plan to withdraw as soon as you stop contributing.

How does "I know my goal amount" work?

It runs the same compounding math backward: instead of growing a contribution you enter, it solves for the monthly, yearly, or one-time contribution that would reach the goal amount you enter, given your timeline and expected return.

Is the expected return guaranteed?

No. It's an assumption you enter, held constant for the whole period. Real investment returns vary year to year and aren't guaranteed.

Does this account for taxes, fees, or inflation?

No. This is a gross, pre-tax, pre-fee projection in today's rupees. Actual take-home growth will be lower after fund expenses, exit loads, and capital gains tax, and today's amount will buy less in the future after inflation.
