Calculator
What the Investment Calculator does
Investment Calculator: calculates Compound Interest, Total Amount and Total Deposits from Principal, Monthly Deposit (optional) and Rate. Example: principal 10000 ₹, monthly deposit (optional) 0 ₹ and rate 8 % gives compound interest ₹4,859.47.
The Investment Calculator takes Principal, Monthly Deposit (optional), Rate and Time and returns Compound Interest, Total Amount and Total Deposits. Edit a field and the answer updates in place.
Typical users are anyone weighing up a loan. Small differences in rate or term compound into large differences in what you actually pay.
Nothing about your finances is transmitted or logged. The arithmetic happens on your own device.
Further down the page: what each field expects, how the result is derived, and one example worked from the defaults.
What do the Investment Calculator fields mean?
The Investment Calculator uses 5 inputs. Each input has a default that makes sense on its own, so a partial edit still gives a valid result.
| Field | What to enter | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Principal | measured in ₹ | 10000 |
| Monthly Deposit (optional) | measured in ₹; accepts 0 to 1000000 | 0 |
| Rate | measured in % | 8 |
| Time | measured in years | 5 |
| Compounds / Year | required | 4 |
How does the Investment Calculator work?
Each output is derived from the inputs above in a single pass; there is no hidden state carried between runs, so the same inputs always give the same calculation.
The guard clauses run before the formula does, which is why mistakes surface next to the field.

How to use it
- Put Principal in ₹.
- Key in Monthly Deposit (optional) in ₹ (0 to 1000000).
- Fill in Rate in %.
- Type Time in years.

- The results panel then shows Compound Interest, Total Amount and Total Deposits.
- Copy Link is the quickest way to send the exact scenario to someone else.
What this tool does not do
- Lender rounding rules differ, so the final figure on your statement may differ by a small amount.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole term; a floating rate will change the outcome.
- Assumptions built into the method are stated above, but they are still assumptions.
- Check that each figure is in the unit the label asks for; that is the most common source of a wrong result.
