1. What is SBI Mutual Fund Charges Calculator?

The SBI Mutual Fund Charges Calculator helps investors calculate the total costs associated with investing in SBI mutual funds. It considers entry load, exit load, and expense ratio to provide a comprehensive view of investment expenses.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

\[ Total\ Charges = Entry\ Load + Exit\ Load + Expense\ Ratio \]

Where:

\( Entry\ Load \) — One-time charge when purchasing mutual fund units (%)
\( Exit\ Load \) — One-time charge when redeeming mutual fund units (%)
\( Expense\ Ratio \) — Annual recurring charge for fund management (%)

Explanation: The calculator sums up all three types of charges to give you the total cost percentage of your mutual fund investment.

3. Importance of Total Charges Calculation

Details: Understanding total charges is crucial for making informed investment decisions. Lower charges can significantly impact long-term returns due to the power of compounding.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the entry load, exit load, and expense ratio percentages as provided in the mutual fund scheme document. All values should be positive numbers or zero.
