Assumptions & formula

Value = amount ร— (1 + r รท m)^(m ร— years), m = compounding periods a year. Doubling time = ln 2 รท (m ร— ln(1 + r รท m)).
  • A constant return is assumed for the whole period; actual market returns vary.
  • Tax, exit load and expenses are not deducted beyond what the expected return already nets off.
  • Inflation-adjusted value is an estimate of purchasing power in today's rupees.
