Finance Calculators
Investing, tax, salary, budgeting and business pricing calculations.
The Finance calculators cover saving and investing, retirement planning, salary and tax, GST, and everyday business arithmetic such as margin and break-even. Each one states its formula and assumptions, so you can see how a projection was built and which inputs drive it.
Investment and retirement results are projections at the return you enter, not predictions. Tax and salary results follow the rules each calculator names for a specific financial year; check that year matches the one you are planning for.

Projections depend on the return you assume
SIP, lump-sum and retirement calculators apply one constant rate of return to every year. Market-linked investments do not grow at a constant rate, so treat the result as "what this rate would produce" and compare a cautious and an optimistic rate rather than relying on a single figure.
CAGR and XIRR measure returns differently
CAGR suits a single investment with one start and one end value. When money goes in or out at different times — a SIP, or a portfolio with top-ups and withdrawals — XIRR gives the more meaningful annual return because it accounts for when each amount was invested.
How these calculators work
Growth calculators use standard compound-interest and annuity formulas; return calculators solve for the rate numerically where no closed-form formula exists (XIRR, IRR). Tax calculators apply the slab and rebate rules stated on each page for the financial year shown there.
Limitations
- Investment returns are not guaranteed; past or assumed returns do not predict future returns.
- Tax results are estimates for the stated financial year and do not replace a tax professional or the official utility for filing.
- Inflation, fees and taxes on returns are included only where a calculator says so.
Frequently asked questions
Are the investment results guaranteed?
No. They show what your money would grow to at the constant rate you enter. Market-linked returns vary from year to year, so the actual outcome can be higher or lower.
Which financial year do the tax calculators use?
Each tax calculator states the financial year and rules it applies. Use the one that matches the year you are planning for, since slabs and rebates can change in each Budget.

How SIP Returns Are Calculated (With a Worked Example)
A SIP's future value is calculated with the annuity-due formula FV = P × (((1+i)ⁿ − 1) / i) × (1+i), where P is your monthly investment, i is the monthly expected return, and n is the number of months — it is a projection based on an assumed return, not a guarantee.
Read guideHow CAGR Is Calculated
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the constant annual rate that would take an investment from its initial value to its final value over the holding period — found by taking the ratio of final to initial value to the power of 1 divided by the number of years.
Read guideHow Much Retirement Corpus You Actually Need
The corpus you need for retirement is sized backward from your desired monthly expense — inflated forward to your retirement date, then converted into a lump sum using the real (inflation-adjusted) rate of return over your expected retirement years.
Read guideClosing the Gap Between Your Projected and Required Retirement Corpus
Comparing what you're on track to save against what you'll actually need reveals a real shortfall — and a goal-based SIP calculation, using that exact gap as its target, shows the additional monthly investment needed to close it.
Read guideGST Inclusive vs Exclusive: How to Calculate Either Way
Adding GST to a base price (exclusive) and extracting GST from a final price (inclusive) use different arithmetic — exclusive multiplies the base price by the rate, while inclusive divides the final price by (1 + rate) first — mixing up the two directions is the most common GST calculation mistake.
Read guideGST Late Filing: Interest and Late Fee Explained
Filing GST late triggers two separate charges — 18% per annum interest on the unpaid tax amount (Section 50), and a flat per-day late fee on the return itself (Section 47, ₹50/day for a normal return or ₹20/day for a nil return, each capped) — and they're calculated completely independently, so both apply together, not just the larger of the two.
