This example showcases the creation of a Investment Calculator using Syncfusion .NET MAUI Toolkit controls to visualizing the investment growth.
An Investment Calculator is a powerful tool designed to help investors make informed financial decisions. It allows users to estimate potential returns on various types of investments, including Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), Lumpsum investments, and Mutual Funds. By inputting details such as investment amount, duration, and expected rate of return, users can visualize the growth of their investments over time.
SIP Calculator – Helps investors determine the future value of their monthly investments in mutual funds.
Lumpsum Calculator – Estimates the returns on a one-time investment over a specific period.
Mutual Funds Calculator – Provides insights into different mutual fund schemes and their expected returns.
The Investment Calculator leverages several powerful Syncfusion .NET MAUI controls to provide an intuitive and interactive user experience. These controls enhance data visualization, making it easier for investors to analyze and track their financial growth. Below are the key controls used in the application.
The .NET MAUI SfSegmentedControl used to switch between three different investment types, they are SIP, LumpSum, and Mutual Fund.
The .NET MAUI SfCards serve as containers for displaying key financial insights, including Cartesian and Circular Charts. These cards provide a structured and visually appealing way to present investment data, ensuring that users can interpret their financial projections at a glance.
The .NET MAUI SfCartesianChart is used to visualize investment growth over time. It utilizes Stacked Column Charts and Column Charts to illustrate key financial trends, including the impact of inflation on investments. This control helps investors understand how their investments evolve over different time periods.
The .NET MAUI SfCircularChart is designed to break down investment allocations and display an overview of investment data at the end of the year. It provides a clear representation of how funds are distributed across different investment categories, helping users assess portfolio diversification.
By integrating these Syncfusion controls, the Investment Calculator ensures a seamless and data-driven experience, enabling investors to make well-informed financial decisions with ease.
After executing these code examples, we will get the output that resembles the following image.
