Understanding the Formula
A=P(1+rn)nt+PMT×(1+rn)nt1rnA = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} + PMT \times \frac{\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} - 1}{\frac{r}{n}}

A = Future value of investment

P = Principal amount (initial investment)

r = Annual interest rate (as decimal, e.g., 5% = 0.05)

n = Number of times interest compounds per year

t = Number of years

PMT = Regular contribution amount per period

Key Insights

The Power of Time

Starting early is more important than the amount. ₹5,000/month for 30 years at 12% grows to ₹1.76 Cr, while ₹10,000/month for 15 years only reaches ₹50 Lakhs.

Compound Frequency Matters

Monthly compounding at 12% yields an effective rate of 12.68%, while annual compounding stays at 12%. The difference grows significantly over long periods.

Regular Contributions Accelerate Growth

Adding even small monthly contributions dramatically increases your final corpus due to the compounding effect on each contribution.
