Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Excel formula for mutual fund SIP returns?+
SIP future value in Excel: =FV(rate/12, months, -sip_amount). For ₹10,000/month at 12% for 10 years: =FV(12%/12, 120, -10000) = ₹23.2L. CalcCrack computes this automatically.
How do I calculate XIRR for mutual fund SIP in Excel?+
Create two columns: cashflows (negative for investments, positive for current value) and dates. Then: =XIRR(cashflows, dates). CalcCrack XIRR Calculator does this without Excel — just enter each investment date and amount.
What is a reasonable expected return for equity mutual funds in India?+
Over 10+ year periods, Indian large-cap equity mutual funds have delivered 10–13% CAGR. Mid-cap funds: 13–17%. Small-cap funds: 14–20% (high volatility). Flexi-cap and multi-cap: 11–15%. Use 10–12% for conservative long-term planning.
Should I invest in direct or regular mutual funds?+
Direct plans have no distributor commission — expense ratios are typically 0.1–0.5% lower. On ₹50L corpus over 20 years, a 0.5% difference in returns equals ₹25–30L difference in final corpus. If you can self-select funds, direct plans are better.
