This mutual funds calculator compounds monthly (SIP timing) and annually (lump sums) at the assumed return. Returns are assumed, not promised — use a conservative rate for goals.

Explanation

Weighted expected return of the mix.

Step-by-Step Calculation

Follow each step to understand how the result is calculated from your inputs.

Step 1

Weight each return by its allocation.

Rp = Σ w·r ÷ Σw
Result: 10.80%
Step 2

Weights must sum to 100% for a true blend.

Σw = 100%
Result: 100.00% ✓
Final Answer
10.80%

Scenario

The mutual fund portfolio calculator run on the values above, showing the full calculation path rather than only the answer.

Inputs

Weight — Holding A:50
Fund A — Return (p.a.):12
Weight — Holding B:30
Fund B — Return (p.a.):10

Calculation

1. Weight each return by its allocation. → 10.80% 2. Weights must sum to 100% for a true blend. → 100.00% ✓

Result

Portfolio Expected Return: 10.80%

Interpretation

Blended 10.80% p.a. at current weights.

Understanding Your Result

Professional Interpretation

Blended 10.80% p.a. at current weights.

How this is calculated

Blended expected return weights each holding by allocation.

What drives the result

A goal corpus discounted at an assumed real return gives the funding need; allocation sets the risk that return is earned with; rebalancing harvests drift back to target; inflation translates nominal corpus into today’s purchasing power.

Recommendations

  • •Rebalance back to targets annually to hold the risk profile.

Educational Content

Introduction

Planning turns a goal into a funding schedule: how much monthly, for how long, at what step-up, in what allocation — and how to hold the mix through rebalancing and inflation. This page solves the funding equation rather than just projecting wealth.

Concept Explanation

A goal corpus discounted at an assumed real return gives the funding need; allocation sets the risk that return is earned with; rebalancing harvests drift back to target; inflation translates nominal corpus into today’s purchasing power.

Applications

▸Sizing the SIP for a home, education or retirement goal
▸Deriving tenure from a fixed SIP budget
▸Setting target weights and rebalance trades across holdings
▸Stress-testing goals in today’s money with inflation

Benefits

  • •Solves both directions: SIP for goal, tenure for SIP
  • •Step-up modeling matches contributions to rising income
  • •Rebalance trades are exact to the rupee
  • •Inflation mode keeps goals honest in real terms

Limitations

  • •Assumes constant return, step-up and inflation paths
  • •Rebalancing ignores tax, loads and transaction frictions
  • •Goal amounts assumed static; lifestyle inflation ignored unless entered
  • •Emergency and insurance needs outside the investment ignored

Best Practices

  • •Plan in real (today’s) money, then add inflation explicitly
  • •Automate step-ups with salary cycles
  • •Rebalance yearly or at ±5% bands, preferably with fresh flows
  • •Recheck tenure after every large market move

Common Misconceptions

Myth: A fixed SIP fits a rising income
Truth: Flat SIPs underuse later earning power — step-ups fund goals years sooner.
Myth: Allocation is set-and-forget
Truth: Drift concentrates risk; rebalancing is the maintenance the plan needs.

Practical Tips

  • •Rebalance to hold the risk profile that earned the blend.

Common Mistakes

Equal-weighting in your head
Small satellites cannot carry a large core.

Assumptions

This calculator makes the following assumptions to provide estimates:

Static weights: Drift ignored.

Limitations

Be aware of these limitations when using this calculator:

Limitation: Assumes constant return, step-up and inflation paths
Limitation: Rebalancing ignores tax, loads and transaction frictions
Limitation: Goal amounts assumed static; lifestyle inflation ignored unless entered
Limitation: Emergency and insurance needs outside the investment ignored

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this calculator.

Do weights need to total 100%?
Yes — the page flags any shortfall for rescaling.
Who uses the mutual fund portfolio calculator?
It is used by investors comparing mutual fund options, by advisers checking a quote before a client commits, and by planners sizing contributions for a goal. It sits in the Mutual Funds group of the ETFs & Mutual Funds section of Atlascalcs.
How accurate is the mutual fund portfolio calculator?
Every figure follows directly from the inputs using standard fund mathematics, so it is accurate to the quality of the values you enter. NAV rounding, actual SIP dates and changing expense ratios explain small gaps versus statements.
How current are the returns used here?
The calculator uses the return you enter. Update it to the fund factsheet trailing CAGR/XIRR or your own conservative assumption. Costs and tax slabs follow the conventions in the references.
Does rounding change the results?
Math runs at full precision; display rounds only. AMCs round NAVs to 4 decimals, so expect paise-level differences.
SIP or lump sum — which is better?
Lump sums maximize time invested and win in rising markets; SIPs average cost and enforce discipline. With cash available, staged deployment (STP over 6–12 months) splits the difference.
What should I have ready before investing?
Monthly budget, horizon, expected return grounded in benchmark history, expense ratios, exit-load windows and your tax slab. With those, every figure here ties to a fund document.
