1. What is Mutual Fund Redemption?

Mutual fund redemption refers to the process of selling or withdrawing your investment from a mutual fund scheme. The redemption amount is calculated based on the number of units held, the current Net Asset Value (NAV), minus any applicable exit load charges.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the redemption formula:

Where:

• \( Units \) — Number of mutual fund units being redeemed
• \( NAV \) — Net Asset Value per unit at the time of redemption
• \( Exit\ Load \) — Any applicable exit load charges in INR

Explanation: This formula calculates the actual amount you receive after selling your mutual fund units, accounting for the current market value and any redemption fees.

3. Importance of Redemption Calculation

Details: Accurate redemption calculation helps investors understand the exact proceeds they will receive, plan their finances effectively, and make informed decisions about when to exit their mutual fund investments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of units you wish to redeem, the current NAV per unit, and any applicable exit load amount. All values must be positive numbers (exit load can be zero if no charges apply).
