Lumpsum vs. SIP investing
A lumpsum invests a single large amount at once, while a SIP spreads investments over time. Lumpsum benefits most when markets rise steadily after you invest; SIPs reduce timing risk by averaging. Use this calculator for lumpsum projections and the SIP calculator for monthly plans.
