How This Calculator Works (Simple Explanation)

The calculator uses:

• Interest Rate: 8.2% (can change as per government)
• Investment Period: 15 years
• Maturity Period: 21 years from account opening

Working Logic:

• You invest money every year for 15 years
• Each year’s investment earns compound interest
• Earlier investments earn more interest
• Later investments earn less

That’s why timing (age + start year) matters

Small Investment

• Girl’s Age: 2 years
• Start Year: 2023
• Yearly Investment: ₹500

Result:

• Total Investment = ₹7,500
• Interest Earned ≈ ₹15,000+
• Maturity Value ≈ ₹22,000+

Even a small amount grows significantly due to compounding.

Medium Investment

• Girl’s Age: 2 years
• Start Year: 2023
• Yearly Investment: ₹1,000

Result:

• Total Investment = ₹15,000
• Interest Earned ≈ ₹30,000+
• Maturity Value ≈ ₹45,000+

Large Investment

Yearly Investment ₹50,000

• Total Investment (15 years): ₹7,50,000
• Estimated Interest: ₹15,00,000+
• Maturity Value: ₹22,50,000+

Higher investment leads to very high maturity value over time.
