1. What Is The Kotak Mutual Fund Calculator?

The Kotak Mutual Fund Calculator helps investors estimate the future value of their Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) investments. It calculates potential returns based on monthly investment amount, expected annual return rate, and investment duration.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the SIP future value formula:

\[ Future\ Value = P \times \frac{(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12t} - 1}{\frac{r}{12}} \times (1 + \frac{r}{12}) \]

Where:

\( P \) — Monthly investment amount (rupees)
\( r \) — Annual return rate (percentage)
\( t \) — Investment period (years)

Explanation: This formula accounts for monthly compounding and calculates the future value of regular SIP investments made at the beginning of each month.

Details: Proper SIP planning helps investors set realistic financial goals, understand the power of compounding, and make informed investment decisions for wealth creation over the long term.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter monthly investment amount in rupees, expected annual return rate as percentage, and investment period in years. All values must be positive numbers within reasonable ranges.
