Disclaimer: This calculator estimates what an investment would have become in the Nifty 50 versus the S&P 500 (converted to rupees), using annual reference levels for each index and the USD/INR rate. It does not currently account for dividends, expense ratios, LRS remittance costs, TCS, or capital-gains tax — these are planned for a future version. Figures are directional and educational, not exact to the day, and nothing here is investment advice.
