The math doesn't lie

Every year you wait = lakhs you lose 📉

Compounding rewards time, not timing. Drag the sliders — watch what "I'll start next year" actually costs by 60.

Assumes 12% p.a. (long-run Indian equity average — not guaranteed), invested till age 60. Step-ups not included, so real life can look even better.

✨ Golden opportunities, in fractions

You don't need lakhs. You need a start.

Fractional and small-ticket investing means the assets that built old-money wealth — equity, gold, even startups — now open from pocket-money amounts. Start tiny, stay consistent, level up.

📈

Equities (Stocks)

start ~₹100

Own a slice of India's best companies. Many quality stocks trade under ₹500; US stocks are available in fractions (0.01 share) via Indian platforms. Long-term gains taxed at just 12.5% above ₹1.25L/yr.

High risk · High reward
🧺

ETFs & Index Funds

start ~₹250

One unit of a Nifty 50 ETF = a fraction of India's top 50 companies. Zero stock-picking stress, rock-bottom fees. The default "set a SIP and touch grass" option.

Medium risk · Chill mode
🪙

Gold — digital & ETF

start ₹10

Digital gold from ₹10, Gold ETFs/funds from ~₹100 — 24K purity, no locker, no making charges. The classic Indian hedge, now app-sized. (Prefer SEBI-regulated Gold ETFs over unregulated digital gold for big amounts.)

Low-med risk · Hedge
🦄

Startups & unlisted

start ~₹5,000

Fractional angel investing via SEBI-registered platforms lets you back early startups with small cheques. Potential 10–100x — but most startups fail. Strictly ≤5% of your portfolio, only money you can lose.

Very high risk
🏢

REITs — fractional realty

start ~₹300

Own fractions of Grade-A office towers and malls through exchange-listed REITs. Rent-like distributions + price upside, without a ₹50L down payment.

Medium risk · Yield
🎓

Your own upskilling

start ₹0

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." — Benjamin Franklin. The highest-ROI asset in your 20s is your income growth. Courses, certifications, side projects — compound your salary too.

Zero downside

⚠️ Real talk: fractions lower the entry price, not the risk. Build your emergency fund + term & health insurance first, use index SIPs as the core, and treat startup/crypto-style bets as the spice — never the meal.

Run your numbers 🧮

Form 16 in, exact tax out. Old vs new regime compared line-by-line, with your balance payable or refund after TDS.

Step 1 · Profile

Who's filing?

Age decides the old-regime exemption limit and your 80D / 80TTB caps.

Step 2 · Income (Form 16 Part B)

Salary & other income

Drop your Form 16 PDF to auto-fill what we can — or type it in. Always verify auto-filled numbers.

HRA exemption calculator

Exempt HRA = least of: HRA received · rent − 10% of basic+DA · 50%/40% of basic+DA.

Step 3 · Investments & deductions

What have you invested?

These mostly matter under the old regime. Under the new regime, only employer NPS 80CCD(2) + the ₹75,000 standard deduction survive from this list.

₹0 of ₹1,50,000 used

Cap: 14% of basic+DA (new) / 10% (old).

Limit ₹25,000 (₹50,000 if 60+). Incl. ₹5,000 preventive check-up.

Savings interest auto-deducted: 80TTA up to ₹10,000 (below 60) / 80TTB up to ₹50,000 on savings + FD interest (60+).

Step 4 · Regime

Old, new — or let the math decide

New regime is the default. Salaried folks (no business income) can switch every single year while filing. Zero commitment, like it should be.

Step 5 · The verdict
