To create a more comprehensive SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) calculator web application, we’ll enhance the previous example by adding more features, including graphical representation using Chart.js for better visualization. This SIP calculator web application provides a user-friendly interface for calculating and visualizing SIP investments. You can further enhance it by adding features like different compounding frequencies, inflation adjustment, more advanced chart configurations, and error handling for edge cases.
CREATE A SIP CALCULATOR WEB APPLICATION
Here’s how you can implement it step-by-step:
- HTML: Defines the structure of the SIP calculator with input fields for monthly investment amount, investment duration, and expected annual return. Results are displayed in a container below the inputs, and a Chart.js canvas is provided for graphical representation.
- CSS: Styles the calculator and ensures it’s responsive and visually appealling.
- JavaScript(script.js): Calculate Function: Handles the core functionally of the calculator. It calculates the future value of SIP investments based on user inputs the compound interest formula. Chart.js Integration: Uses Chart.js to create a line chart that visualizes the growth of investments over the investments period.
USAGE:
- Input fields: Enter the desired monthly investment amount, investment duration in years, and expected annual return rate.
- Calculate button: Click the “calculate” button to compute the estimated future value of your SIP investment and display results.
- Results display: The calculated results (including inputs and estimated future value) will be shown in the results container below the inputs. Additionally, a line chart will display the growth of investments over time.
