Quick Summary: Direct vs Regular Fund

A Direct vs Regular fund calculator measures the long-term wealth lost to distributor commissions. Direct plans have a lower expense ratio because they bypass intermediaries, often leading to 0.5% to 1.5% higher annual returns which compound significantly over 20+ years.

How to use the Direct vs Regular Fund

  1. Enter Monthly SIP

    Input the amount you plan to invest every month in mutual funds.

  2. Set Investment Horizon

    Enter the number of years you plan to stay invested (e.g., 20 years).

  3. Compare Expense Ratios

    Provide the expense ratios for the Regular and Direct variants of the same fund.

  4. Analyze Wealth Gap

    Review the 'Savings to Wealth' gain from switching to a Direct plan.
