How this is calculated

Formula

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(n×t) − 1) ÷ (r/n)]

A
= final amount
P
= initial investment
PMT
= contribution per period
r
= annual rate as a decimal
n
= compounding periods per year
t
= years

With your numbers

  2. 2Number of periodsn × t12 × 10 = 120
  3. 3Compound the initial amountP × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)₹10,000.00 → ₹22,196.40 (₹12,196.40 of growth)
  4. 4Compound the contributionseach one for the periods remaining after it is paid in₹70,000.00 contributed → ₹1,01,473.02 (₹31,473.02 of growth)
  5. 5Add themA = compounded principal + compounded contributions₹22,196.40 + ₹1,01,473.02 = ₹1,13,669.42

  • Rule of 72: at 8.0% a lump sum roughly doubles every 9.0 years. It is an approximation, but a good one between about 5% and 15%.
  • Compounding 12× a year turns the 8.00% nominal rate into an effective 8.300%. Compare instruments on the effective rate, never the nominal one.
  • Contributions are treated as arriving at the end of each month. Paying at the start instead adds one extra period of growth to every contribution.
