✅ What is the Future Value of a Lump Sum?
The Future Value (FV) of a lump sum is the amount of money an investment will grow to over time, with a fixed interest rate and compounding frequency. This concept is useful when you want to know how much a one-time investment will be worth in the future.
🔢 Formula:
FV=PV×(1+r)nFV = PV \times (1 + r)^nFV=PV×(1+r)n
Where:
- FV = Future Value
- PV = Present Value (initial investment)
- r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
- n = Number of years
🧮 Example:
If you invest ₹50,000 at an annual interest rate of 8% for 10 years: FV=50,000×(1+0.08)10=₹107,946.26FV = 50,000 \times (1 + 0.08)^{10} = ₹107,946.26FV=50,000×(1+0.08)10=₹107,946.26

- Compounding frequency (annually, quarterly, etc.)
❓ Is compounding included in this calculator?
Yes, many calculators allow you to choose the compounding frequency—annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily.
❓ Can I use this for real estate or gold investments?
Technically yes, if you have an expected annual appreciation rate, but for more accurate forecasts, use asset-specific tools.
