How SIP vs Lumpsum Calculator Works
Enter total amount, expected return, and years. Lumpsum invests all on day 1; SIP splits the same total into equal monthly installments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better — SIP or lumpsum?
Lumpsum often wins in steadily rising markets; SIP reduces timing risk when markets are volatile. This tool uses the same total invested for a fair compare.
Is this the same as SIP vs FD vs PPF?
No — this compares two investment styles (lumpsum vs SIP) at the same expected return, not different products.
