📐 Methodology & Sources
All calculations use standard financial formulas. SIP returns use compound interest formula: FV = PMT × [((1+r)^n - 1) / r]. EMI uses: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / [(1+r)^n - 1]. Tax calculations follow Income Tax Act provisions for the current assessment year. Insurance premiums are indicative market averages.
