Q1: What is the difference between simple and compound interest?
A: Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on both principal and accumulated interest, leading to exponential growth.
Q2: How accurate are these calculations?
A: These calculations assume a fixed annual return rate. Actual mutual fund returns may vary due to market fluctuations and fund performance.
Q3: What factors affect mutual fund returns?
A: Market conditions, fund management, expense ratio, economic factors, and investment duration all impact actual returns.
Q4: Should I consider inflation in my calculations?
A: Yes, for long-term planning, consider real returns (nominal returns minus inflation) to understand actual purchasing power.
Q5: Are SBI mutual funds safe investments?
A: While SBI is a reputable institution, all mutual funds carry market risk. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on market performance.
