How does MFReturns calculate mutual fund returns?
MFReturns uses official historical NAV data published by AMFI to simulate how an investment would have performed over the selected time period. SIP returns are calculated using XIRR based on monthly investments, while lumpsum returns use CAGR based on actual NAV growth.
Where does MFReturns get mutual fund NAV data?
MFReturns uses official NAV data published by AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India). All calculations and return estimates are based on these industry-standard historical NAV records.
Why can MFReturns results differ from other mutual fund calculators?
MFReturns uses real historical NAV data and XIRR-based cashflow calculations to simulate past investment performance. Other calculators may use fixed return assumptions, projected growth rates, different SIP dates, or alternate calculation methods, which can lead to different results.
Are mutual fund return calculators accurate?
Mutual fund return calculators provide estimates based on historical NAV data and user inputs. Results are useful for analysis and comparison, but actual future returns may differ. MFReturns calculations do not currently include taxes, exit loads, or transaction charges unless explicitly stated. Historical performance does not guarantee future returns.
How are SIP returns calculated?
MFReturns calculates SIP returns using XIRR, a method that accounts for the timing of each monthly investment. The calculator uses historical mutual fund NAV data to simulate how a SIP investment would have performed over the selected period.
