1. What Is Zerodha Mutual Fund Charges Calculator?

The Zerodha Mutual Fund Charges Calculator helps investors understand the fees and charges associated with mutual fund investments through Zerodha platform. It calculates the total charges based on investment type, amount, and duration.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula for direct plans:

\[ Charges = 0 \text{ (direct plans)} \]

For regular plans, the calculator estimates charges based on typical expense ratios:

Where:

\( Investment Amount \) — Total amount invested in INR
\( Annual Expense Ratio \) — Typically 1-2% for regular plans
\( Investment Period \) — Duration of investment in years

Key Feature: Zerodha offers zero fees for direct mutual funds, making it a cost-effective platform for investors.
