About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a user-friendly tool that shows how investments grow over time with compound interest and regular Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions. Users can input their starting amount, monthly investment, interest rate, and period, then see clear charts and results.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly, requiring only basic math and programming. You'll work step-by-step to build a practical financial calculator, perfect for understanding real-world investment growth.

What you'll learn: You'll gain hands-on experience with simple coding, user interfaces, and data visualization. This project helps you connect finance concepts to technology, building confidence in both areas.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short project plan detailing the inputs, outputs, and main features. Show your chosen tool setup (e.g., Colab notebook or Repl.it project) with a welcome message and basic project structure.

2. Core Build (Compound Interest Calculator)

30 marks 10d

Submit working code that takes user inputs (principal, rate, time) and calculates compound interest growth. The program should display the calculated values in a clear format.

3. Core Build (SIP Feature & Visualization)

30 marks 10d

Add SIP (recurring investment) functionality to your calculator. Implement a simple chart (using matplotlib or JavaScript) showing growth over time. Submit working code and screenshots or demo link.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 8d

Test your project with several input scenarios. Improve usability (labels, instructions, error handling). Submit your cleaned code and brief notes explaining improvements.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 8d

Present a short video or screenshots demoing your tool. Submit a 1-page report describing what you built, challenges faced, and what you learned.
