Retirement Planning: How Rs 4.26 crore corpus can reach Rs 8.80 crore in just 3 years with 2% additional returns on investment
Power of Compounding: Returns that an investor gets on their investment may not appear to be significant in the short term, but when they compound over the years, they can help one create a much larger corpus compared to someone who gets slightly lesser returns.
Retirement Corpus, compounding returns: If two persons invest Rs 5,000 monthly for 5 years and get 12 per cent and 14 annualised returns, respectively, on that, their estimated corpuses will be Rs 4,05,518, and 4,26,080, respectively, on investment of Rs 3 lakh, but if they continue their investment for 25 years each, their corpus will be Rs 85,11,033, and Rs 1,17,23,201, on the same investment. It happens because of the power of compounding that reflects its impact in the long run. In this write-up, we will show the importance of high annualised returns through examples. Also, we will show, due to compounding, how your corpus can be 2X with just 3 years of additional investing if you get 2 per cent extra annualised returns.

What will be investment conditions?
We will take the examples of Rs 10,000, Rs 15,000, and Rs 20,000 monthly investment for 25 years and will show what will be the impact on corpus if you get 12 per cent and 14 per cent annualised return on these investments. The mode of investment can be SIP in mutual funds or anything where you get 12 per cent and 14 per cent annualised returns. In the second calculation, we will show the corpus can be 2x with 3 years of additional investments if the rate of annualised return is 14 per cent instead of 12 per cent.
Corpus on Rs 10,000/m investment for 25 years at 12 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 30,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 1,40,22,066, and the expected amount will be Rs 1,70,22,066.
Corpus on Rs 10,000/m investment for 25 years at 14 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 30,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 1,40,22,066, and the expected amount will be Rs 1,70,22,066.
Corpus on Rs 15,000/m investment for 25 years at 12 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 45,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 2,10,33,099, and the expected amount will be Rs 2,55,33,099.
Corpus on Rs 15,000/m investment for 25 years at 14 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 45,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 3,06,69,604, and the expected amount will be Rs 3,51,69,604.

In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 60,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 2,80,44,131, and the expected amount will be Rs 3,40,44,131.
Corpus on Rs 20,000/m investment for 25 years at 14 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 60,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 4,08,92,805, and the expected amount will be Rs 4,68,92,805.
How 2 per cent extra annualised return can double the corpus
Take the example of Rs 25,000 monthly investment for 25 years at 12 per cent annualised return, and the same investment for 28 years at 14 per cent annualised return.
Rs 25,000/m investment for 25 years at 12 per cent return
In 25 years, the investment will be Rs 75,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 3,50,55,164, and the expected amount will be Rs 4,25,55,164.
Rs 25,000/m investment for 28 years at 14 per cent return
In 28 years, the investment will be Rs 84,00,000, long-term capital gains will be Rs 7,95,50,758, and the expected amount will be Rs 8,79,50,758. So, with 2 per cent extra return and 3 years of additional investment of Rs 9 lakh, the expected returns are more than 2x.
