Have you ever wondered how long it would take to build a corpus of ₹1 crore with monthly investments? In this article, we look at setting aside a fixed sum every month, whether it’s ₹5,000, ₹7,000, or even ₹10,000, and watching it grow over time. At first glance, reaching ₹1 crore might seem like a distant dream. But you can map out this journey with the right planning.
The below table helps you understand, how different scenarios can help you accumulate ₹1 crore:
Person | Monthly Investment (₹) | Expected Rate of Return | Investment Duration (Years) | Total Value Generated (₹) | Total Investment (₹) | Estimated Return (₹) |
Arjun | ₹5,000 | 15% | 22 | ₹1,03,53,295 | ₹13,20,000 | ₹90,33,295 |
Amit | ₹7,000 | 15% | 20 | ₹1,06,11,685 | ₹16,80,000 | ₹89,31,685 |
Shrikant | ₹10,000 | 15% | 18 | ₹1,10,42,553 | ₹21,60,000 | ₹88,82,553 |
One of the most important factors to consider when investing is the power of compounding. This is where your investment doesn’t just grow based on the money you put in, but also on the interest earned on that interest. Over time, compounding can lead to exponential growth, making even smaller, consistent investments grow significantly. For instance, if you invest ₹5,000 per month, the initial amount might seem small, but as your returns accumulate and compound, your wealth builds faster than you might expect.
As you can see, consistent investments paired with the magic of compounding lead to growing wealth over time. By starting early and staying disciplined, you can unlock the power of compounding and pave your way to financial independence.
