Time, Delay and Compounding Calculators
These compounding calculators show why time matters so much in investing. See what waiting to start can cost, how much more you would need to invest if you start late, how compounding works, how long money takes to double, and what rising prices do to your money.

Which calculator should I start with?
Start with the Cost of Delay calculator to see what a few years of waiting can cost, then try the Delayed SIP calculator to see the higher SIP needed to catch up. The Compound interest and Rule of 72 calculators explain why early money has such an effect. The Inflation calculator shows why saving alone is not enough: prices rise, so your money has to grow faster than them to keep its buying power.
