Frequently Asked Questions

How does SIP compounding work?

Each monthly SIP installment earns returns independently. The formula is: FV = P × [(1+r)^n - 1] / r × (1+r), where P = monthly amount, r = monthly rate, n = total months.

What is LTCG tax on equity mutual funds?

Long-term capital gains (held > 1 year) above ₹1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5%. Gains up to ₹1.25 lakh per financial year are tax-free.

How is debt fund taxed?

Debt fund gains are added to your income and taxed at your income tax slab rate, regardless of holding period (as per 2024 rules).

Why adjust for inflation?

Inflation erodes purchasing power. A ₹1 crore corpus 20 years from now will have significantly less real value. The inflation-adjusted figure shows today's equivalent value.

  • Separates invested capital, gains, and inflation-adjusted outcomes for realistic interpretation.
  • Allows users to compare return assumptions rather than relying on one CAGR guess.

Edge cases and reviewer checks

  • Sequence of returns can diverge from smooth CAGR assumptions.
  • Fund-level taxation can vary by holding period and instrument type.
  • Missed installments reduce compounding runway materially.
