What is Investment Growth?

Investment growth shows how money multiplies over time due to compound interest. The longer you invest and the higher the return, the more dramatic the growth curve.

Formula

FV = PV×(1+r)^n + C×[(1+r)^n−1]/r

Examples

US — $5,000 + $6,000/yr at 10% for 30 years

Final = $1,162,000 | Invested = $185,000 | Growth = $977,000 (5.3× return)

India — ₹1L + ₹60K/yr at 12% for 25 years

Final = ₹1.47Cr | Invested = ₹16L | Growth = ₹1.31Cr (9.2× multiplier)

Example — Euro Zone

€5,000 initial + €300/month, 6% annual return, 20 years. Total invested: €77,000 | Final value: €143,396 | Investment gain: €66,396

Why Use This?

Investment growth is fundamentally about time in the market. The early years feel slow, but the compounding accelerates dramatically — half your final wealth often comes in the last 20% of your investment horizon.

Why is starting early so important?▾

At 10% returns: $1 invested at 25 becomes $72 at 65. Wait until 35 and it's only $28 — less than half. Ten years costs you two-thirds of your final wealth.

What is the Rule of 72?▾

Divide 72 by your interest rate to find years to double. At 10%: 72/10 = 7.2 years to double. At 6%: 12 years to double.

Should I invest a lump sum or DCA?▾

Statistically, lump-sum investing outperforms DCA about 2/3 of the time in rising markets. But DCA reduces timing risk and is more psychologically manageable for most investors.

💡 Tip: The S&P 500 returned 10.5% annually from 1957–2024. $10,000 invested then would be worth over $8 million today.
