📐 Mathematical Formula & Calculation Logic
The underlying actuarial compounding and financial formula executed in real-time by this tool:
M = P × [ (1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i × (1 + i)
P: Principal / Initial Capital or Periodic Investment
r / i: Periodic Rate of Return / Interest Rate
n / t: Number of Compounding Cycles / Tenure in Months/Years
M / A: Total Wealth Accumulation / Maturity Value
💡 Practical Example (Case Study)
If an investor contributes ₹10,000 per month in an equity mutual fund delivering an average historical return of 12% p.a. over 15 years, the total amount invested will be ₹18,00,000, while the estimated wealth accumulated will grow to over ₹50,45,760 (compounded wealth gain of ₹32,45,760).
