Formulas Used
- Future Value of Lump Sum:
FVlump = P × (1 + r/n)n×t - Future Value of Recurring Deposits:
FVdep = C' × [ (1 + r/n)n×t − 1 ] ÷ (r/n) - Total Future Value:
FV = FVlump + FVdep - where: P=initial amount, r=annual rate (decimal), n=compoundings per year, t=years, C’=deposit per compounding period.
Quick Questions
Does it support monthly SIP-style deposits?
Yes. Set “Deposit Periodicity” to Monthly and enter your monthly deposit. The calculator uses the future value of an annuity formula.
What if the interest rate is 0%?
The future value equals your total invested (initial + all deposits). The formula handles the zero-rate case safely.
Which compounding should I choose?
Choose the frequency offered by your bank or product. Monthly compounding is common for deposits and funds in many regions.
Can I enter decimals?
Yes. All fields accept decimal values for more accurate planning.

Savings Growth Calculator – FAQ
It estimates the future value of your savings using your initial amount, recurring deposits, interest rate, years, and compounding frequency.
Yes. Enter your monthly deposit and select the correct deposit periodicity. The calculator uses the future value of an annuity formula for recurring amounts.
Select the same compounding frequency that your bank or investment product uses, such as monthly, quarterly, yearly, or daily interest crediting.
No. Results are shown in nominal terms. For a rough real return, you can subtract expected inflation or taxes from the interest rate and recalculate.
It works similarly for fixed-rate scenarios. Monthly deposits behave like SIP contributions, but actual fund returns may vary over time.
Results are mathematically accurate for the interest rate and compounding you enter. Real returns can differ if rates change or extra charges are applied.
