What is an ELSS Calculator?

An ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme) Calculator is a free online financial tool that is designed to help you evaluate the maturity value of your tax saver mutual investments. This tool can be used for estimating either the future value of a one-time lump sum investment or a longer term systematic investment i.e. SIP occurring over a specified period of time. The ELSS calculator provides instantaneous results which ensures time savings for the user and eliminates the need for performing complicated returns and maturity value calculations manually. By using this tool, it is possible for users to make informed decisions regarding tax saving investments made in ELSS funds.

How to use ELSS Calculator?

The ELSS Calculator helps you calculate the estimated returns from your investment towards the ELSS fund depending on the type of investment, i.e. SIP or lump sum.

There can be two variations of an ELSS calculator basis the contribution, as explained below:

ELSS SIP Calculator

SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a mode of investing, in which the investor invests a relatively small amount on a regular basis, usually monthly. The ELSS SIP calculator assists you in evaluating your returns on your SIP contributions made into ELSS schemes. To analyse the SIP maturity amount for an ELSS investment, you will be required to provide the following details:

1. Monthly Investment amount – This is the monthly SIP investment you plan to make

2. Expected Rate of Return – This is the return you expect to receive from your ELSS investments.

3. Investment Tenure – This is the period for which you plan to continue your SIP investment

Once you have provided the above inputs the ELSS calculator will instantaneously give you the below output:

1. Total Investment Amount – This is the total investment you have made in the ELSS fund during the SIP tenure.

2. Total Returns – This is the estimated the total returns from the SIP based on the expected rate of return data provided by the user.

3. Maturity Value – This is the sum total of total investment made and total returns calculated on the basis of user inputs

It is worth noting that the output provided the ELSS calculator is based on the inputs provided by the user. So, the results of this calculator should be considered as estimates that one can use to make informed tax saving investment decisions. However, real life performance of an ELSS scheme may not exactly match the results provided by the ELSS calculator.

ELSS Lumpsum Calculator

Under the lumpsum method, you need to invest a lumpsum amount in one go. The ELSS fund also lets you invest through the lumpsum method. If you want to evaluate the maturity amount for an ELSS lumpsum investment, then you will have to provide the following details:

1. Lump Sum Investment Amount: This is the lump sum investment you plan to make into the tax saver ELSS fund

2. Expected Rate of Return: This refers to the returns that the user expects to receive from the ELSS investment

3. Investment Tenure: This is period for which the investor plans to stay invested in the ELSS fund

Based on the above inputs, the ELSS calculator will instantaneously provide output in the form of corpus at maturity and estimated returns from the investment. This tax saver mutual fund calculator is available for free, so you can use it multiple times to try out different combinations and figure out which and figure out which combination of investment amount, expected returns and investment tenure suits your investment goals

Formula of ELSS Calculator with Example

Here is the formula of the ELSS Calculator that is used to calculate the ELSS maturity value. In fact, it is the Future Value formula that is used for ELSS amount calculation.

FV = C(1+r)^t

Where,

FV = Future Value,

C = Initial Investment Amount,

r = Expected rate of return, and

t = Time period of investment.

Let’s take a closer look at the ELSS calculator formula with the following example:

Suppose you make an ELSS investment of a lump sum amount of Rs. 3 lakhs with an expected rate of return of 15% for 5 years. In this case,

FV = 300,000 (1+15/100)^5= 603,407

So, at the end of the investment tenure, you will receive the maturity amount will be Rs. 6,03,407.

Likewise, with an expected rate of return of 15%, if you started an SIP of Rs. 5,000/month for five years, then at the end of the tenure, you would get Rs. 4,48,408.

You can see how easily you can spot the significant contrast between lumpsum and SIP contributions, keeping all the other factors intact. This way, you can also analyse and choose the type of contribution you’d like to make to maximise your tax saving investments.

However, it is an important point to note that the future value of an investment can depend on various factors. The results obtained by this formula are a close estimation but not the absolute numbers, as market linked returns of a tax saver mutual fund cannot be accurately predicted in advance.
