The comparison helps you understand how your capital may grow over time if it is allocated to Fixed Deposits (FDs) or Debt Mutual Funds.

The calculator estimates the value of your funds using the inputs and assumptions you provide.

FDs typically offer a fixed interest rate, while Debt Mutual Funds are linked to market movements.

This is why the projected values for mutual funds may be higher or lower over time compared to FDs.

  • YTM reflects the expected annualized return if a debt instrument is held to maturity.
  • Modified Duration reflects how sensitive the mutual fund’s value is to interest-rate changes.

These inputs help the calculator estimate future values of debt mutual funds.

The MTM feature allows you to model the impact of a possible interest-rate change on the value of debt mutual funds.

This is optional and is meant purely for scenario planning.

No. The calculator provides projections based on user inputs and assumptions.

Actual outcomes may vary due to market conditions, interest-rate movements, costs, and other external factors.

The tool is meant to support financial planning and scenario analysis.

Before making investment decisions, you may consider your goals, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, and seek advice from a SEBI-registered financial advisor if required.
