// FORMULA
// FORMULA
EndingValue = (1 + r) ^ Years
The growth multiple for any starting amount is the same — scale up linearly.
// EXAMPLE
// WORKED OUT
At 15% per year for 20 years:
₹1 grows to (1.15) ^ 20
= 16.37
So ₹1,00,000 becomes ₹16,36,654.// WHAT THIS MEANS
The growth multiple is the cleanest way to feel the shape of a return. A 15% return for 20 years turns ₹1 into more than ₹16 — almost everyone underestimates it on first guess. The same multiple applies to any starting amount: scale up linearly to get your number.
// FAQ
Does the answer depend on the starting amount?+−
The multiple does not. The rupee value scales: if ₹1 becomes ₹16, then ₹10,000 becomes ₹1,60,000 — at the same return for the same time.
Why is the multiple so much bigger than rate × years?+−
Because each year's gains compound on the previous year's. The gap between simple multiplication and compounding widens fast for high rates and long periods.
